I first heard Fred Knobloch do this tune about fifteen years ago on an album with the great harmonica player, Jellyroll Johnson. The tune just knocked me out… and when I was singing it around the house, deciding if I should include it on this album, my seven year old granddaughter Catherine asked: “What’s a phone booth?”… and I knew I had to record it. We can’t let phone booth go out of our lexicon.
