Me too.
I was the only white guy on a team of 15 blacks working in a warehouse, in 1966, and they invited me to the local black Vets club to see James Brown live there on a monday night. (they had real famous people there on Mondays.) I and my buddy was scared to go, so we went and sat in the car listening from outside for an hour, until they come found me and drug us in. They let us drink underage and we had the best times of my life at that club.
Changed my life. My parents were prejudice out of ignorance and those days taught me we were all the same, just different skin color.
We went back every Monday night for a year, saw Jojo Bensen and Peggy Scott, Fats Domino, Wilson Pickett, Archie Bell and the Drells, Eddie Floyd, Carla Thomas, and all kinds of soul greats. When I was 19 years old, I didn't own any albums by white people. Soul music led me to the roots of Blues Music and I became a big blues fan. Those were the days!
Differnt locations but the same world. You are truly my brother!
