(What do they say about that?)
Well, they tell me you go to the fork of the road late at night, by yourself, with a guitar. See, forks of de road - a road go this way and one go the other Way [demonstrates]. You sit there with that guitar 'till it get dark, you under- stand. It kin be fair, but it come - it's getting dark. See. Well, if you know how to play dat guitar, you under- stand, well you go there and get in that fork of the road for three nights. And you come an' play, make any kind of tune - make any kind of note on that guitar you want. (I see.) [This is learning to play better or selling self to devil.]
