“I was always moved by all of the music. As a young man, Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton, Count Basie and all these great musicians would come through our town of Memphis. There wasn't adequate hotels, so these musicians - the lady who ran the theater knew my mother, who had a large house, and many of them would stay with us. So that was another great blessing, so I'm always around these great geniuses, and to realize their humanity is such a touching thing.” MenYoungMotherHumanityHouseRealizingGeniusBlessingMusicianTheaterTownsMovedRanYoung ManHotelTouchingAdequateGreat MusicDukesMemphisGreat MusicianOur TownHamptons Author:Charles Lloyd
