786DCB_se1_ag3_m_011127.8397[<laugh>]1128.8041
787DCB_se1_ag3_m_021129.4164[Now what's in] it or what's mixed in it, your guess as good as mine1133.6384
788DCB_se1_ag3_m_011129.5525[Right.]1130.0687
789DCB_se1_ag3_m_021134.4440when it comes to mumbo sauce, but some places have some bomb mumbo sauce.1138.6779
791 1140.1278<clears throat>1140.6772 
793 1140.8402And some places don't.1142.0655 
794DCB_se1_ag3_m_011143.6975So you got to have that mumbo sauce?1146.2559
795DCB_se1_ag3_m_021146.3039Gotta.1146.8482
797 1147.0763On the side.1148.0087 
799 1148.7010I put mine on the side a lot of people like theirs all over the fries and the chicken.1153.4436 
801 1153.7966I be like, nah you won't see it.1155.2939 
803 1155.7175I put mine to the side,1157.4223 
805 1157.8465break my chicken off, dip it in there, you know what I'm saying, so just in case the next bite I might not want no mumbo sauce on my chicken.1164.2519 
807 1164.6561But it is bomb.1165.6347 
809 1166.8091And the other side a little signature sauce.1168.9544 
811 1169.8399But,1170.1849 
813 1171.7087a lot of places got they little signature stuff.1173.9458 
815 1175.5625<clears throat>1176.2532 
817 1177.9796And ours is mumbo sauce.1179.5610 
818DCB_se1_ag3_m_011180.2019What do you- you- how do you think they make it, like if you- what do you think that's in it?1183.3433
819DCB_se1_ag3_m_021184.8453<sigh> Let me see.1186.1732
821 1187.1783Uh, my g-1187.8306 
823 1188.1508guess would probably be like barbecue sauce,1191.4455 
825 1191.7096and hot sauce mixed.1193.3629 
827 1194.2268My guess would be.1195.9796 
829 1197.2895It's probably1197.9188 
831 1198.1218barbecue sauce, hot sauce, just different- like a different barbecue sauce.1202.6725 
833 1203.1174And a different hot sauce.1204.6901 
834DCB_se1_ag3_m_011205.3824Mixed together?1206.0731
835DCB_se1_ag3_m_021206.2948Mixed together.1207.3215
837 1207.7407Or /probably it's a-/ there's some water.1209.6776 
839 1211.0823Mix that shit together like that.1212.9168 
840DCB_se1_ag3_m_011214.5971[<laugh>]1215.2094
841DCB_se1_ag3_m_021215.0974[And] you probably get mumbo sauce. <laugh>1217.5307
842 1217.9427But I really couldn't tell you though cause I tried the shit and that shit wasn't mumbo sauce.1221.9898
843DCB_se1_ag3_m_011223.4505You said it wasn't mumbo sauce?1224.8151
844DCB_se1_ag3_m_021224.9912Mm-mm.1225.5405
846 1226.4090No.1226.9730

852DCB_se1_ag3_m_021236.5750Go go,1237.4496
854 1238.3730it was actually made1241.2020 
856 1242.2468a long time ago.1244.1024 
858 1245.3255About these guys just trying to make some money1247.8147 
860 1249.2313regular on the corner with some1251.0704 
862 1251.6376pots, pans, and buckets.1253.7826 
864 1255.2673They just did their little beats,1256.8453 
866 1257.7297start rhyming it together.1259.5417 
868 1260.9311And next thing you know that's why- that's what Junk Yard came from cause all their equipment came from1266.8130 
870 1267.5234like trashes1268.5994 
872 1268.7452or old1269.6559 
874 1269.8937garbage stuff or the junk yard.1271.6804 
876 1272.7591You know they'd beat on buckets, pots, or whatever they had1276.2824 
878 1276.5060and that's where the name Junk Yard Band came from.1279.6218 
880 1280.9253S- and1282.0800 
882 1282.5300that's one of the famous1284.2748 
884 1285.0712go go bands down here in Washington1287.1517 
886 1287.5856DC.1288.3900 
888 1290.4989And what they did was they had been on a corner, cranking their little pots and pans and you know people throw coins and stuff like that.1298.2878 
890 1299.3575And all of a sudden they start to do these little shows, so they- eventually they got the drums and the congas. Which also we call congos, but they- they originally known as congas.1310.4558 
892 1311.8777Um,1312.5071 
894 1313.0303you know the piano board, and the cow bell and1316.6279 
896 1317.9217you have the-1319.3710 
898 1320.0547the /rolla tom/,1321.2161 
900 1323.2614and1324.1094 
902 1324.9742the mics,1325.9507 
904 1326.9391and amps, and when you put all that stuff together,1329.7016 
906 1330.7461you have the go go.1331.8867 
908 1332.1588<laugh> Then when you go to a go go1334.1477 
910 1334.5171like, some people don't understand.1336.2340 
912 1337.2304Like1337.5865 
914 1338.7270You can go to like a rap hip-hop jont and you gotta wait for people to battle,1343.7946 
916 1343.9267for you to be like, oh they said my neighborhood, or oh, this and that.1347.7842 
918 1348.1378And when you go to a go go, dog, back in the day,1350.9992 
920 1352.5439you was going there to rep your neighborhood where you grew up from, we didn't have these different gangs or all that shit, it was where you grew up from.1361.2864 
922 1361.8546So it's basically all the people you knew from the time you was young to all you was old enough to go to a go go.1367.9331 
924 1368.2828You went and repped your neighborhood.1369.9987 
926 1370.4651It wasn't no type gang thing or anything like that1373.5545 
928 1373.8626it was just the fact that where you grew up at1376.2037 
930 1377.4895was what's the name of your crew.1379.2744 
932 1379.6706So, you know, when you go in the go gos you went to rep your crew but don't get it twisted.1384.2428 
934 1384.6781It was dimes and freaks and whatever else you wanted up in there.1388.7520 
936 1390.8462But you also represented your neighborhood.1393.6555 
938 1394.3650And that's probably one of the- as far as a heavy metal or some rock band, that's probably one of the hardest crowds1400.7320 
940 1401.7697you would go through.1402.8644 
942 1403.1863But nowadays it's a little softer.1404.9316 
944 1405.1392You know what I'm saying you coulda hit the Chuck Brown1407.2094 
946 1407.9538or the Maiesha and the Hiphuggers it was for the older crowd that's when you did your little one-two step, or something like that.1414.1779 
948 1414.8422You got a couple of little the older crowd with like the women,1417.9236 
950 1420.1779but if you wanted the little1421.4505 
952 1421.5905toonchies was what we call little,1423.7475 
954 1423.9177you know,1424.4060 
956 1424.5300fast girls who like to have sex real fast is why they call fast girls, but I call them toonchie.1430.6554 
958 1432.5069<clears throat>1432.9469 
960 1433.9889It was at the1434.6492 
962 1435.1694like1435.5656 
964 1436.0138Junk or Backyard1437.4178 
966 1438.6990or Northeast Groovers.1439.9916 
968 1442.5140And they crank.1443.6447 
970 1446.1729All day.1446.8129 
971DCB_se1_ag3_m_011447.8497To what-1448.3484
973 1448.7861like what is the differences that like you say in the bands like,1451.4954 
975 1452.4050are their differences like in,1454.1579 
977 1454.8422you know, the music or how their styles like- how can you- you know what I mean?1458.2368 
978DCB_se1_ag3_m_021458.3010Yeah, each- each band has their significant style.1461.5585
980 1462.2228I mean, but1462.9992 
982 1463.4246they're all played on the same instrument, of course every band's gonna have a different style.1467.6512 
984 1468.2788Like Chuck Brown'd be like more slow pace.1471.0034 
986 1472.4180Or1472.9582 
988 1473.8666you know you had more slow pace for the older crowd cause they wasn't with all that.1477.3975 
990 1477.8217But, you know,1478.7141 
992 1479.2344Junk, Back, and Northeast Groovers you know they could go slow or they'll go fast1484.1021 
994 1485.0383for a couple dances or something like that for back in the day.1488.1557 
996 1489.5216But I'll tell you one thing.1490.9582 
998 1491.3104We don't percolate, that's what we won't do1494.2678 
1000 1494.4291down in DC we don't percolate.1496.4220

1008 1502.2419<laugh> You ain't gotta aks me.1504.5390 
1010 1505.5274I mean it's a lot of people know what percolating is, I don't know what they call it in other states.1509.8501 
1012 1511.2273I wouldn't know what they would call it [but ev-]1513.1814

1026 1536.2530I'll tell you that.1537.2134 
1028 1538.5580It was probably the same thing for like a1540.3429

1046DCB_se1_ag3_m_021563.4773Yeah.1564.3212
1048 1564.7218It was more like a sacrificial type thing.1566.9938 
1050 1567.4163They wasn't really radio oriented.1569.8294 
1052 1570.3897Radio stations weren't playing go go like that.1572.8427
