I got to meet and announce everyone that came through there. I had direct contact with people like Ray Charles and B.B. King. I remember praying with Johnny Cash onstage for a sick little boy that was at a concert. It was incredible: the contact I had with some of the most amazing people in the world. |
I've been a fan of rock 'n' roll every since I was a little boy. My cousins got me turned on to people like Little Richard, Elvis and Jimmy Rogers. I had two sets of cousins: one from the good side of the tracks and one from the other side. One side introduced me to Elvis, and the other to Pat Boone. I got introduced to the blues through bands like the Rolling Stones. |
