This is Oak Blowers and you remember I was telling you about them Camden kittens and about how they had the community all in up rower. Well, they was playing up at Carl's beer garden and I went up there to see what was going on because they were crowds of people hanging out up there and I couldn't figure out what in the world they was doing and then nobody would tell me. They just said, go see for yourself. Well, that's what I've done.
And I went up there, you remember and talked to old Carl and he told me what they was doing. He said that they had they was betting on what color underwear them girls was wearing. He said that's what they was betting and he said if you stay at this table, you know, you have to bet. He said it costs you $20 is what he said.
Well, I wasn't going to bet at first, but people come in to crowd around that table and piling in that place and I could see right quick that if I was going to see anything, I was going to have to stay around that table because they was going to crowd me clear out in the yard. So I told old Carl, I said, well, I'm going to this one time. I don't believe in betting, but I'm going to stay here and bet just one time to find out what in the world is going on. So people come in to crowd around him pretty soon.
There must have been a whole hundred people up around that table and there was a stage right in front of that table. See that that beer garden up there. What it used to be was a schoolhouse back in a long time ago, it was a schoolhouse and they put two or three of them schools together. What I mean is they consolidated.
That's what consolidated this school and closed it see. And so they didn't do nothing with that school for a while. There was a little old store up there and old Carl bought the schoolhouse and turned it into a beer garden and he run that store for a while until it caught far and burned up. But he still had that beer garden up there and then he has built on to it two or three times what I mean, large ditch, made it bigger is what I'm trying to say.
And so he built this, been building over this thing and for a while I couldn't see nothing why he was doing it because you know people was coming up there to buy beer but they wouldn't crowding up the place like there was that night that I was telling you about. But I realized that he had some kind of something up there that people wanted to see. Well they had this stage up there like I say and they made a curtain up and made it down with bedspread I think and they had a little old clothes line that went across the stage and that bedspread was hooked on fast and down to that clothes line and when you wanted to open the stage you just two people want to just pull that bedspread back you know and you could see on the stage. Well about five minutes to nine it got quiet in there and you could hear a piano back there on the stage and you could hear them kittens and they were mowering and they wouldn't really catch you know they were girls but they were making out like they were cats and some of them were mowering and some of them were purring and so they come out there they opened that curtain directly and they were four of them girls up there they called them kittens and they were four of them and they were up there mowering and then they had kitty she was in the middle and she was called kitty so it was five of them all together and then there was a woman up there and she was I think was a manager or something she wasn't she just had a dress on and she wasn't well she wasn't nothing to look at you know she was a little on the heavy side and I ain't say I don't mean no harm but I got close.
You know I don't look like much neither so I wouldn't I wouldn't say nothing about her I'm just trying to tell you what she looked like but them kittens and that cat they was in them you know skimpy outfits and they sung some good songs that first I can't remember some of them but they sung one of them about the cat in a cradle and what it was it was about this uh moment and she had this girl and she was you know her girl was always getting this stuff for Christmas and she wanted her mom to play with her and the mom was always busy and didn't have no time to play with her and then she uh when she got grown up see then her momma wanted her to come see her and she said well mama I'd like to but I'm awful busy and got my kids and so forth and what that was all about she they just trying to tell you that if you want your kids to take care of you then you better take care of them that's what that song was about and and they done you're two or three of them pretty songs and then they had these songs that was wrote by that uh that woman over Florence is what her name was and I think she was uh what they called a choreographer she was one that you know arranged them dances and so she uh she started playing that piano boy she was beating it out and they were doing this song called shake a leg and they would sing along there and then all of a sudden they'd say shake and that one on the end where I was you kicked up in the air and you could see way up there and you could see her underwear she had green underwear on well that was a color that I bet see what you had to do with the bet was you got you one of them cards it was a colored card and I got a green one and some of them had pink and some of them had black and some of them had white but I just happened to pick a gr- I didn't have no reason to pick the green I just had pick one and I put my twenty dollars in there well see when I saw that girl kick up her leg and and seen them green underwear I thought I had one and so I got to thinking about that boy it must have been there must have been a couple thousand dollars on that table and I figured that all of the ones that had the green cards would split up that money and I could see myself you're getting about five hundred dollars there so directly I looked and they said shake a leg and when they did that second girl kick and so she had on pink underwear and so what happened what to make a long story short but what happened was that them kittens they found out what them boys was doing you'll bet on that color they underwear so they all went off and got different colors see and what they had been doing up to that point was that they had been wearing the same color but they found out what them people was doing and so they all put on different color now I don't I'm not trying to you know talk dirty here or nothing like that I'm just telling you what was going on what was happening up there and so didn't that make everybody mad because see they couldn't decide who won and they were gonna split up the money and them girls kept saying and they done a song called She Me And In The Shower and I don't know a bunch of them old nasty songs that I don't know what the words was but they wasn't real nice and but the people was arguing over who was going to get the money and finally Carl come out there and he said well who won it and they said well we they all got you know different colors on and and we can't tell so I guess what we're going to do is just split up the money and Carl said no we ain't gonna do that he said the girls is gonna get the money so he took up all the money and I say they was three thousand dollars in that basket up there and he took it up there to Kitty and give it to her and said you girls can have the money well see that made everybody mad but he they wouldn't go to say nothing to Carl because Carl wouldn't argue with you I mean he would I don't know what he'd do but I never did hear anybody argue with him because they know not to do it so anyway he'd give the money to that Kitty and he said y'all can have the money but he said you know what you're doing is you're ruining my business by doing that he said these people won't bet no more because you're ruining my business and he said you know I'm paying y'all good and so that to Florence she come up there and she said no we won't do it no more said we just want to teach them a lesson because they was up there they was lewd and and and whistled and carrying on every time that these girls were dancing so I just wanted to teach them a lesson and that's the reason that I told him girls to do that but he said she said we won't do it no more Carl said because we appreciate the job and if you can make money that way she said we'll we'll just we won't do that anymore so anyway I stayed up there because I couldn't get out there was so many people up there that you couldn't get out the door if you'd wanted to I didn't I didn't really care for it if you want to know the truth and I wouldn't have been there at all except I wanted to find out what they was doing and then once I got there and I found out I was ready to go home but like I say I couldn't get out of there so I'm gonna I'm gonna wind this story up next time I'm gonna tell you what happened after that and the people down here was all you know in the up row were about it and they was talking about what they was gonna do but well they they didn't do nothing but I'm gonna tell you all about that on the next program and like I say I hope I ain't offended nobody but I was just telling you what happened that's that's all I was doing I thought it was kind of disgusting myself but but because I don't care nothing about looking at nobody's underwear but you know what I say is to each his own you know is like the saying goes so anyway I'm gonna get off of here and then I'll come back in the next podcast and we'll wind this story up and and like I say I hope weren't nobody offended by what I told you because it was just the truth I was just telling you the truth.
