Hi David! I love the Van Ronk version of Gamblers Blues. Arlo's take is exceptionally fine as well. I have a version by The Standells on their album Riot On The Sunset Strip, as well as Bobby Blue Bland on that record were he looks like he is walking into a real estate office on Venice Blvd on the cover. |

(that's my threshold temperature for it being hot, as fans no longer work as the ambient air temperature is the same or higher then the body's temperature). |

![]() Hey NGH - I know but we're not used to or equipped for that over here. It's about 32 in the studio here. |
![]() |
![]() Actually we seem to be partially shielded there thanks to the proximity of the ocean. We will soon welcome global warming refugees, I guess... |

In Brooklyn, I had two large window units just for my tiny apartment to make it bearable in the summer. When I moved there in 2000, many businesses didn't have A/C, by 2005, most places had A/C. |

![]() We are still enjoying low clouds and coastal fog, aka June Gloom, and it lingers into early afternoon. The heat will arrive all too soon. |
![]() |
![]() Enjoying the gloom! |

![]() Almost nobody has air conditioning around here. But our building's think walls shield us well, well enough at least for around 50 weeks of the year. |

My first summer in Brooklyn, I didn't have A/C, by the time they had a fall A/C sale, I bought my first one. I'm not sure how people lived w/o A/C before, as it commonly gets up to at least 39C every other summer. |

Before the advent of A/C, FL had cracker houses (yes, that's where the term comes from), tall peaked roofs to allow for ventilation and wrap around covered porches. Usually w/ large trees around for shade. |

![]() Carmichael: That does sound like a fantastic lineup - very different Sinti/Romani traditions there. |

Michael and NGH: I recently ran across the term "dogtrot house," and it sounds similar: open corridor down the center, with doors facing the corridor. Pictures are online... |
![]() |
![]() like a "shotgun shack" ? |
![]() |
![]() This might make certain record collector types go SQUEE, but I was once played a tape for me of Airto doing an impromptu jam session in the kitchen of Ernest Hood, of Neighborhoods fame, with Ern on zither and Airto on whatever was in the kitchen. It was played for me by Ernie's son Tom. It was amazing. Probably unreleasable due to Airto being Airto. |

Tue. 6/25/19 4:52pm
Listening Out There:
Michael - it's a similar colloquial term, but the structures are different. Shotgun shack has rooms one after the other. Dogtrot house has two rows of rooms, with open corridor in the center. See pix online for examples.... |
![]() |
![]() I remember a know-it-all acquaintance saying that it was a house with a backdoor that you could 'shoot a shotgun through the front door and out the back'. |
![]() |
![]() got it |
![]() |
![]() Not sure if that's the true origin of the term, though. |
![]() |
![]() Wow, I'm only familiar with "shotgun shack", which always reminds me of the Talking Heads. |

northguineahills:
@Michael and Rich: It came to be because most of the people who lived in FL year-round (and away from the beaches) were usually really poor and considered unsophisticated (although, that was the stereotype) by the visiting rich white snowbirds from up north. As a consequence, being a FL cracker became reappropriated as a term of pride. Sometime in the 50s, it got conflated w/ ignorant white trash in the rest of the South. |
![]() |
![]() guess those WT showed us, huh? erk |
![]() |
Tue. 6/25/19 5:03pm
northguineahills:
Yeah, a dogtrot house is similar, but w/ peakier roofs and sometimes small gaps between the gables and the external walls (usually w/ screen, to keep the skeeters out) for ventilations. |
