funny, that just reminded me that John Lee recorded a
song called "Onions" (the lyrics start right off with
"green onions..." etc etc.) i have it on an import
called "Boom Boom" it's not an exact match to the
Booker T tune, but you can definitely hear how it
could have become that pretty easily from the bass
line (played by Hooker on guitar?).
 wow, Winslow, thanks again for blowin' my mind ;)
