I often look at the professional studio Photo of our band. We had so much fun. I just passed through Cairo, Illinois ( “ Chitt-Lin circuit “ ) remembering the show we did where didn’t get paid. We did a very big show, having solo singers and dancers, what we called a traveling “ Revue”. I enjoyed our time together and I’ll NEVER forget. Rest my brother
