Sleepy LaBeef:

It Ain't What You Eat, It's The Way How You Chew It:(1981)

Sleepy LaBeef, the man from Smackover, AR. 

Back in 2004, I asked my good buddy, Dave Roda, if he'd ever heard of Sleepy LaBeef. He laughed at the very idea that there was an actually man carrying this moniker. We decided that day, that anybody of this man's stature, both physically and legendarily, who had played the Louisiana Hayride, and rocked as hard as he did, and is still out there, should be the patron saint of musicians. Thus we affectionately began referring to him as 'Uncle Sleepy'. 

We even started a song about the man.

He's rockin' seven nights of the week

From the Great Wall of China to the Great Barrier Reef 

There ain't no one like, Sleepy LaBeef

God bless you, Sleepy, wherever you are.
