In which we discuss the Stanley Brothers cover of "Finger Popping Time" as well as a.i.'s own musical preferences

I don't know whether the story of the Fabulous Flames doing the snapping on "Finger Popping Time" is true, (and it is such a great story that I haven't pursued it in fear of finding out that it is just a myth). Having just finished reading King of the Queen City -- The Story of King Records, I do know that owner Sad Nathan strongly believed that songs should cross racial and genre lines and would regularly have his soul and R&B artists cover country songs, and his country artists cover R&B songs, so the story seems plausible...
