I thought this was a perfect name and location for this cache, as I have a special “Ci. Ci.” who, along with many others, is a daily rider here. A quick grab and a catchy tune to start or end your day.
Congratulations to adverturer4 on the F.T.F.
"See See Rider", also known as "C.C. Rider" or "See See Rider Blues" or "Easy Rider" is a popular American song. It was first recorded by Gertrude "Ma" Rainey in 1924, which used traditional blues lyrics to tell the story of an unfaithful lover, commonly referred to as easy riders. The lyrics "See See rider, see what you have done", is making a play on the word see and the sound of easy. It became one of the most famous of all blues songs, with well over 100 versions. My favourite was the Animals' 1966 heavy version (featuring Burdon's screaming) which reached #1 on the Canadian RPM chart. It was the last single before the group disbanded in September 1966. The term "See See Rider" is usually taken as synonymous with "easy rider". In particular, in blues songs it often refers to a woman who had liberal sexual views, had been married more than once, or was skilled at sex. Although Ma Rainey's version seems on the face of it to refer to "See See Rider" as a man, one theory is that the term refers to a prostitute, and in the lyric "You made me love you, now your man done come", "your man" refers to the woman's pimp. So, rather than being directed to a male "easy rider", the song is in fact an admonition to a prostitute to give up her evil ways.
