Happy to relive this nice memory
16 March 2024
I saw this with my father, one cousin a little older than me & an older cousin, who talked Daddy into coming along, him being a guitar player & music lover. But... My father like most people his age, liked Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry etc most Rock & Rockabilly singers, but he liked everything Country & Western, Hillbilly & Bluegrass. The only black singers he liked were Nat King Cole, The Platters, The Ink Spots, etc, & growing up in the rural South, he learned to play the guitar from a old black man who played Blues. He wasn't familiar with much Soul.

My main memories of this show were Lesley Gore, who us young boys loves, Rolling Stones & James Brown. My older cousin pointed out that Bill Wyman looked like his mom. He really did, & kept saying, "Just like Momma, huh?! Just like Momma!" When James Brown sang/acted out "Prisoner of Love", that's when things really got funny, with my father's reaction to him dropping to the floor & being escorted by the band, only to throw-off the cape they put around him, & return to the microphone. I guess it was after the 3rd time, Daddy was losing his patience. And said, "If he does that one more time, I'm leaving!" But he made it the rest to see our aunt's lookalike playing guitar.
