00:00Good morning, say good morning. You said your prayer?
00:13Gip is a peculiar person.
00:17He gonna do like he wanna do anyway, but I tries to keep it straight whether he listen or not.
00:22See Gip is a grave digger by day and a party animal by night.
00:26Give it up for Mr. Gip one more time.
00:28We're really lucky to have a guy that opened up his juke joint decades ago like Gip.
00:34There are very few of them left.
00:37The juke joints start to dying out. Now you can't holler without a juke joint.
00:42Juke joints, they just like everything else, they just passing through.
00:46And when they time out, their time is out.
00:58I don't understand why you want to destroy this wonderful place.
01:04Answer honestly, what you wanted next door to you?
01:08I'm gonna do as I am doing and we gonna overcome this.
01:16You have somebody telling you openly they're gonna defy the law.
01:20So finally the mayor said we're gonna do something about it.
01:28Right there in front of you.
01:31Police raided the backyard juke joint, but Gip's place is not going down without a fight.
01:35We're gonna do what we gotta do, so y'all be with us.
01:40There is nothing on his mind about letting it go.
01:44But at this day and time, he got a good fight on his hands.
