"Long Distance Information, give me Memphis, Tennessee..." Doug, if you had found that in less than a minute, you would have held a Mudcat Record.

I believe Johnny Rivers does that on his 'Johnny Rivers Rocks The Folk' album. I have it somewhere in the collection and can dig up further info if needed.

Chuck Berry wrote it. My favorite version is Jim Kweskin's Jug Band with Geoff Muldaur singing.
