"As a young boy growing up in Texas, Sunday dinners at the family farm were highly popular. My grandmother, Little Mama, awarded aunts, uncles, cousins, and even some lucky neighbors the best-fried chicken ever made. She was an incredibly adept chicken ring-necker, deliberate and effective. The chicken coup was out by the barn, but lots of those birds would hang around the back door, which, unfortunately for them, was attached to the kitchen. If we arrived early enough, we would have ringside seats to Carson County's most popular spectator sport starring Maybelle Burns. She'd hit that screen door with a purpose, and brother, the hunt was on! 

Lyrics She had on her bonnet, high-tops cinched up tight. Her water it was boilin she was ready for the fight She commenced to movin, dress up to her knees Every bird in that back yard was headin for the trees Feathers flyin, chickens cryin, where's the slowest one Grandma closin in a shoutin 'Kingdom Come'--Chicken Run

Ya know, the slowest ones always tasted mighty good. Special memories." -- Bobby Giles (Bobby Giles & Texas Gales Bluegrass Band)
