In one of Joel McCrea's earliest films, he had a role in the Will Roger's movie, Lightnin' (1930) and it began a friendship between the two that lasted until Roger's death in 1935. Rogers advised McCrea on how to survive in show business with a level head, to always save half of what he made, and always keep a backup plan.

Is I been mah'id? Yas suh. I done had fo' wives, an raise 'leben chillun. But 'taint lak in de ole days. Chillun all gone, an de ole nigger got no white folks, makes it mighty hahd to git along. 'Bout all de ole man kin do is fish an I does dat an gits a li'l somp'in to eat. 'Fo young Massa Tom passed on—he was Massa Joel's boy—I ain't neber wanted fer nothin'. I was Massa Tom's body guard. Us hunted an fished together, played wid de white chillun an sometimes I rid behin' him on de hoss, or on de fore seat wid de ca'iage driver when de fambly went to chu'ch. "But dat's all in de pas', an de good Lawd say no man kin bring back de pas'. So I reckon, ef you all 'll 'scuse me, I better go fish my trotline an git somp'in to make the de skillit smell.

I Need Money (Keep Your Alibis)
Born as James Moore just outside of Baton Rouge, Slim Harpo was a swamp blues harmonica hero. In the local juke joint Slim was a shade behind Lightnin' Slim. But after his hit 'King Bee' he gained national fame, and proved to be quite adaptable for other artists. Slim Harpo was a hell of a harp player.
Father of the Swamp Blues: Lightnin’ Slim
The father of the Swamp Blues, black music from deep down Louisiana country, around Baton Rouge is without a doubt Lightnin’ Slim. Until he moved to Baton Rouge, Slim was a farm boy in Missouri just outside St. Louis. At age thirteen Slim moved to the Swamps of Louisiana were his brother taught him how to play guitar. At Excello records he would become Jay Millers most faithful blues musician and eventually Father of the Swamp Blues.
