    "comment": "Happy Thursday and welcome to The Afternoon Show with the very knowledgeable Larry Mizell, Jr. and most delightful producer Sharlese.  Today, on OG Thursday, we’re going to focus on Moby’s fifth studio album, 1999’s “Play,” its samples and influence! We’re so glad you’re here with us today!\n--\nThis is one of many folk recordings collected by musicologist Alan Lomax that were sampled  by Moby for \"Play.\"  Moby sampled multiple elements of this song for \"Honey.\"\n--\nMary Elizabeth Jones was an American gospel and folk singer credited with helping to bring folk songs, games and stories to wider audiences in the 20th century. Alan Lomax, who first encountered Jones on a field recording trip in 1959, said, \"She was on fire to teach America. In my heart, I call her the Mother Courage of American Black traditions.\"[",
