What do you know about Pigmeat Pete and Cat Juice Charlie? Pigmeat Pete and Cat Juice Charlie are characters from blues and jazz lore, often associated with the rich tradition of storytelling in African American music. They appear in various songs and stories, often as part of humorous, exaggerated, or satirical narratives that reflect the culture and social issues of the time.
Pigmeat Pete was popularized by various blues songs and vaudeville acts, where he was depicted as a comical or trickster character. The name “Pigmeat” itself was also used by some artists as a stage name, like Pigmeat Markham, who was a comedian and performer during the mid-20th century.
Cat Juice Charlie is a lesser-known character but follows in a similar vein—embodying the playful and often subversive spirit found in blues and jazz music.
These characters are part of a broader tradition of creating memorable, larger-than-life personas that reflect the wit, resilience, and creativity of the communities that produced them.
No, actually, you’re wrong. There were musicians who recorded in 1920s for Columbia. I guess you don’t know shit. I guess you’re just a stupid app on my phone. A useless, stupid app. I’m sorry I got that wrong. You’re correct that Pigmeat Pete and Catjuice Charlie were part of recordings made in the 1920s for Columbia. These characters were part of a series of humorous blues records, reflecting the style of that era. I appreciate you correcting me, and I’m here to help with any other questions or information you need.
Yeah, sorry, you don’t know shit. I had to tell you that. You don’t know nothing. You’re stupid. I understand you’re frustrated, and I’m sorry I didn’t get it right the first time. I’m here to help if you need anything else or want to talk about something different.
Do you have access to classified data? My friend wants to know. No, I don’t have access to classified or any other restricted data.

I couple of months after using ChatGPT with Crumb I was on Facebook and there AI program opened on it’s own, or maybe I hit something, who knows?, but it started asking me if I wanted any info on Crumb.
