I've got a Fender Concert amp from the '60s, the one Joe Osborn used. He played his bass through it.

What I really remember is that people camped out everywhere, and the fact everybody expected it might turn into a big nightmare with all sorts of hassles because back in those days everybody was smoking pot and taking acid.

I was rooming with Jimmy Bowen at the time, doing some gigs, then I went back to New Orleans and played there in '62.

I think after 1970 or so, after I sold Soul City, I took off for awhile and didn't do too many gigs.

I'd gone through periods where I didn't work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time.

Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.

The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game.
