- Description: John Cosmos Owade was a rich patron of the singer. Since any party in the district was not complete without his music he was always invited to play, and it was J. C. Owade who footed the bill. He deserves this 'loving song' as he calls it. The melodies played on the accordion between verses seem to have little or no connection with the song except as an extraneous adornment. As the singer starts to sing a verse the accompaniment reverts to the background and allows the singer to sing in the traditional manner. Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).

- Description: "John Otwal, so the singer states, had helped him when he had no transport from Kisumu to his homw and, in addition, had presented him with 100 shillings as a token of affection and esteem. He wanted all the people to know what a good friend he was. The intrusion of the foreign instrument, the accordion has undoubtedly modified the original folk idiom but to what extent it has affected the style of song is not yet known. Praise song for a friend with accordion, sound box (-12.16-) and iron (-12.151-).
