good. That's great. Well, sometimes I write songs and
I hear you in my head when I'm writin' 'em." Kenny
said, "Yeah." Marty continued, "And this is not one of

I was first goin' out on my own and startin' my own
band, I wanted to look like you guys and couldn't
afford it, and you gave me one of your alligator suits
to get started with and it's right back there today
with that alligator suit. That's the kind of man Jimmy
C. Newman is. That makes you the Alligator Man don't
it." Jimmy said, "Well, ya know, we wrote that
lightnin' change you remember Linneman, the bass man
at the Opry. We wrote that about 1960. I needed a
theme song with a little bit of an oomph and a
get-up-and-go. And so anyhow, we came up with up with
that song and here come this swamp people with the
exact thing that we were singin' on .. that we wrote
about." Marty said, "Well, let's play it for 'em now.
