'Big' Sheila Jonsmithe - Wing Ding, with Big Marv, piano

Ms. 'Big' Sheila Jonsmithe,

 This recording features the sweet voice of Ms. 'Big' Sheila Jonsmithe, a lady that seldom comes out of the kitchen to sing, but when she does, people ask for more! Yes, she's an acclaimed Cajun food cook from Baton Rouge, Louisiana that frequently travels with  her husband Big Marv and his band The Hoodads. They are man and wife, and are often found making the rounds of a handful of venues in the Baton Rouge area with him making the music, and her cooking up great food. Big Marv and The Hoodads have been heard before on Big And Tall Records with Marv taking the unaccustomed spotlight as the singer of the band, but this time he plays a top-notch accompaniment to his wife's singing that gives a taste of what he's capable of on the keyboard. 

They are a couple that are big in many ways besides girth. They do a lot of charity work in the Baton Rouge/New Orleans area as well as doing their part to pass on the musical and culinary traditions of Cajun country! 

Gonna have a real wing ding!

Have some catfish, deep fried!

Gonna be a real fling,

Have some mud bugs on the side!

 

 If you never been to the bayou,

You're in for a hell of a treat!

Plenty good food for you,

Relax, and put up yo feet!

 

Chefs been workin' on the prep.

Got oysters laid out here!

The guys are all really hep

,got ice coolin' off the beer.

 

 Say you never had all  the good food

At a wing ding on the bayou?

‘Bout time you really should,

even cook somethin’ special for you!

 

Chef'll take filets of catfish,

Cook in a  hot iron skillet!

It's such a tasty dish!

And put all kinds of spices in it!

 

 Ya'll better like some spice.

Blackened catfish has got it!

Sure does taste really nice.

Careful! might bite ya back when you bite it!

Big Marv

Don't care what the neighbors say,

We'll invite 'em over, get 'em tight,

Be no complaints, no way!

Have some catfish, deep  fried!

Gonna be a real  fling,

Have some mud bugs on the side!

 

Don't bring nothin' but yourself!

C'mon over, be a real Wing Ding!
