So, this song checks off a lot of boxes for me. Done as a duet by Jimmy C Newman and Carol Channing. Double check there! Huge Jimmy C fan, and I had a giant crush on Carol Channing in the 70's, and the one time I revealed that to people it got horrified gasps and really strange looks my way....I loved her though. She did a few duet country albums in the late 70's. This was written by Tom T Hall, Check. And I like it's never revealed what "Alligator milk" actually is, though I strongly suspect it contains booze. It's a fairly obscure song, check. And I'm glad I was finally able to sorta pull off the picking part of it. I tried to work this up a good while back, and couldn't get the licks down, and got frustrated with it and gave up. Now, I kinda can do it, so I guess that means I'm advancing some picking wise, that can be difficult to tell sometimes in the moment. Plus it's just kinda weird, and I like it. Checkmate! lol
