My brothers would begin the session the same way every time; "Once upon a time was a good ole time, Brer Bookie chewed tobacco and he spit white lime, dog neck choke, monkey neck broke, and they all went to heaven in a little white boat." I was always eager for what would follow: story after story, until the wee hours of the morning.
