Of all the twanger duets I know “Sweep Out The Ashes” (short call) let’s the pretty girl singer show off her voice about the best.

The hairy legged boy lead singer can keep his Little Big Boy going while she sings, you know?

When my wife and I did “Ashes” at the Cahow Family Reunion over twenty years ago my Uncle Jiggs said there’s a lid for every pot, ain’t there?.

A couple of weeks ago my pretty cousin Deana who married the multimillionaire who was my duet partner when Yvette didn’t know the song well enough texted me a Cahow had passed on to their reward after over ninety years of loyal service to the Master.

And I replied back my mother could tell me which Cahow begat that Cahow but my memory of my kinfolks is wanting.

And she replied back Uncle Dee and Aunt Edna with a link to Dee and Edna’s song , and I remembered.

We’ve Lived it Up (Now We’ve Got to Live it Down)

New Justin Trevino and Sharon Kenaston version

Original Little Jimmy Dickens version

She texted will your sweetie be ready for the next reunion and I said she’s mending, probably, the doctors are helping her.


I didn’t realize Dee and Edna had been gone so long.

Uncle Dee always kept a list of what key certain standard classic twangers sounded best for Edna in what key taped on his guitar

Uncle Dee could sing in any key, and play all up and down the neck of his Martin.

There are tons of little kids singing along at the Cahow Family Reunions, always have been!

About all of em grow up to be valedictorians and summa cum laude and JD With Distiction and such.

It’s important to leave a good record in their minds, you know?

The first time my cousin Deana saw my yummy at the Cahow Family Reunion she started crying and hugged her and said you realize , if you weren’t with my Cousin Vanny you’d have to die, don’t you?

And my Mama said she doesn’t have one thing now you didn’t have twenty years ago in your day, Deana.

And Deana said look at that girl’s legs, Aunt Lois, and Mama just sort of walked off to get something to eat, you know?
