A while back, we here at Big And Tall Records got a phone call. It turned out to be a woman that wanted to know if shew could get permission from one of our artists to cover one of their songs. Her name about floored us; Gummer Beaudine! We told her we would talk to the artist and get back with them. When we asked what the song was and artist, the woman said Gimme A Pocket Rocket by Shanda Lee. This record didn't do very well, and we haven't heard from Shanda since the record was released. We called Shanda, luckily it was her day off. She's a nurse and works hellacious hours. She was amazed about the request, and after we talked a while (she initially was going to refuse), she agreed.
We called Gummer(!) back and informed her. She said she was going to perform the song with a band at a 'gin mill' (as she put it). By her voice, she was judged her to be in her 30's, maybe early 40's. On the phone her voice was rather nice. So we sent a small crew to make a recording of her performing the song. She wasn't too hot on that idea, but when she found out it was part of the deal, she agreed. What we got in return was something we didn't expect!
She said she mostly played Country/Western, but sprinkled some blues and Honky Tonk. When our crew got back and played the file, we were amazed! Really rough and tumble music, and the woman with the nice speaking voice showed us what she could do with it singing. She's a short woman, the band towered over her. She strummed the guitar, our crew said sometimes she'd thump hell out of it. The band's good, lays down a steady beat that she weaves her vocals in and out of, sometimes breathlessly. The piano player beats on the keys as well, with clusters of notes. And if that's not enough, we were proved wrong on her age. Our crew are gentlemen, so no one asked her age, but she has to be in her sixties, and a rough sixties at that!
We were bowled over, and won over! We offered her a recording contract, and she was somewhat leery at first. She's never been recorded before, and the crew said she was really nervous when they recorded her. She's not a songwriter, does covers of other people's songs mostly. So I sent her a link to our site so she could listen to the songs we've got.
After a few days, Gummer called back and we could hear the excitement in her voice. She found a lot of songs she'd like to do, and readily agreed to the contract! She's making a list so we can get permission from the composer to cover it. So welcome a new recording artist for Big And Tall Records,Gummer Beaudine! Once we get to know her better, we're dying to know how she got the name Gummer!
When women get together, sometimes they say things ‘bout their old mans junk.
How big they are, which way they sway,
some, OH LORD!, big as an elephant’s trunk!
But I’m here to tell ya sisters, Hear what I say!
Gimme a pocket rocket any day!
Gimme a pocket rocket,
I’ll take a pocket rocket!
Don’t matter what ya’ll say,
Gimme a rocket any day!
I'll tell ya'll somethin'. I've had a few men.
Some nice and loving, some nasty and crude.
Some of those had a big one, but keep 'em away!
They're so nasty, so selfish and rude.
Gimme a pocket rocket,
I’ll take a pocket rocket!
Don’t matter what ya’ll say,
Gimme a rocket any day!
Now mind ya, not all big dicks that way!
But the one I had pulled down his pants,
waved it in front of me, and stood there showing it off!
Like a baseball bat, hard as a rock,
should have been on a leash with a choke chain!
Ain’t no way I was takin’ that cock!
Gimme a pocket rocket,
I’ll take a pocket rocket!
Don’t matter what ya’ll say,
Gimme a rocket any day!
Got a good man now, and he’s so sweet.
Treats me so good, and gets me off first!
I love him! I love complete!!
You hear what I say? HE GETS ME OFF FIRST!!!
After that I’ll take care of him, whatever he wants,
I’ll tell ya the truth, I love whatever I do,
To please him over and over again,
On top of that, his rocket won’t choke you!
Gimme a pocket rocket,
I’ll take a pocket rocket!
Don’t matter what ya’ll say,
Gimme a rocket any day!
I love him like no other, we’re close as close as can be.
Two peas in a pod, match up so well, I’m happy it’s true.
I’ve learned about fuckin’,a revelation for me,
I’d rather scoot up close to a short one,
han skin my ass gettin’ away from a big one! OH YEAH!
