Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/the Naked Planet, No. 6: WANDA (Missippi Queen)


Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/the Naked Planet, No. 6:  WANDA (Mississippi Queen)

WANDA comes  from Hamburg, Germany.  Both BLIND BILL (Texan Poet)  and I wrote a song about her "back in the day". We decided? -Call it: WANDA. It was, aesthetically, a tad off the tracks but both Blind-Bill and I gave it the "thumbs UP", which is unusual? - GOES like this:

"WANDA"

"Wanda, Wanda, Wanda
Do U ever WANDA?
Wanda, wanda, wanda
Is it day or is it night?
Wanda, wanda, wanda
Do U ever WANDA?
NICE DINNER!
Wanda, wanda, wanda
I'll be late:
Don't wait up!?"

...WANDA was on my Case - in Germany - to ship her out to NASHVILLE or LOS ANGELES... Money being tight, we got her as far as San Antonio, Texas,  where she encountered the usual TEX-MEX-suspects, but Blind-Bill, from his "base-camp"/Airstream Trailer parked - someplace - near EL PASO - came to the rescue like I knew he would... Now? WANDA? -She hosts some CAJUN Cabaret down in the Mississippi delta, half a yodel from New Orleans. I heard she's changed? -Gone North, artistically. Gone SOUTH! -a'la Savant... Who's to say? She BITCH-SLAPS over-weight Bikers in the bar, I hear, and plays electric-Ukulele/sings TOO, like a Summer's rain; short, fresh, and wishing there was more.

As always? She's tall, blond, lithe; subject to hair-dye exotica; a penchant: for Boas and feathered costumes?
DEM Creole kids treat her like ISIS. She packs the bars, Fridays, Saturday nites!

Her name is WANDA, and I'd tell ya a whole lot more?
 -but she,
righteously,
deserving THIS boys respect?
-is now... a Mississippi Queen.
