Big Baby keeps a morning schedule. Every day is the same ticktock. After grits, gravy, and peach toast, he runs to find Pop Charlie in the barnyard while Great Nana fills the bath. "I see my baby!" Pop Charlie cheers. "What can I do for you?" "Sing!" Big Baby shouts. Pop Charlie grins from ear to ear as he plucks his diddley bow. He lifts his chin and crows. . . I gotta SING when the Spirit says SING. I gotta SING when the Spirit says SING. I gotta SING when the Spirit says SING, and shout in the spirity of joy!
