Shake A Hand
Composer: Joe Morris

The chorus of Shake A Hand is sung by Doug Sahm at the end of another song during a performance by a group that included Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Leon Russell, Mary Egan and Doug Sahm on November 23, 1972 at the Armadillo World Headquarters, Austin, TX.

The original Faye Adams release topped the R&B chart for a few weeks in 1953.
