Uncle Gus: Atomic Blast Blues

"Atomic Blast Blues" by Uncle Gus. Featuring the "Tetanus Special" cigar box guitar on the Bo Diddley rhythm and the "Winterbone" cookie tin guitar on the solo.

ATOMIC BLAST BLUES
==================
If you wouldn't tell Stalin
Don't you tell no one
Just watch out for a white flash
Brighter than the sun

Talk means trouble
And we got all we need
Three thousand men out in Nevada
Would take that as agreed

Be like the turtle
Tuck your head back in your shell
'Cause the commies got the A-bomb
And you just can never tell

Comment by Uncle Gus on July 13, 2012 at 6:20pm: Thanks for checking it out, everyone.

I've always been a bit fascinated by the '50s Cold War, since I grew up with the '80s Cold War. We didn't get "Duck and Cover," but I did get to watch "The Day After" on TV when I was about six, which was kind of a mistake on my folks' part. Not age-appropriate entertainment, that.
