| Banana Blues |
| "On one of my television appearances, I worked with a harmonica legend named Little Sammy Davis. Sammy has performed with many of the blues greats, including Earl Hooker, Little Walter and Muddy Waters, and while he is close to seventy years old, he continues to blow some mean harp. He loved bananas, so I created a banana dessert on the spot while Sammy played his harmonicas. That's the day the banana blues were born." |
