was great. Yeah, He was really good, I got to see him a cou- ple of times too. There was a Wes Montgomery, Hank Garland concert, which I would have paid millions to have seen.


No doubt! We had a lot of people coming through town too. A lot of R&B acts play- ing at the Carolina Theater downtown. They'd have James Brown and all the great soul stars and of course Elvis. Elvis Press- ley came through, but that was before I was even born. Same year anyway. 1957. I saw him in 1959 at the Fox theater on New Year's Eve.


God that had to be a show! I don't remember much, I was 12-years-old, but I remember seeing him but I didn't know what good or bad was in my opinion then. But it was different than him in the 70's for sure, he was straight rock 'n roll was all I remember.


Oh Yeah. The SUN years. . . . and people did yell like a Beatles concert, I mean, they yelled the whole way through, espe- cially the women and then by the late 60's he was in Vegas quite a bit, I guess, and had lost a lot of that rock n roll attitude. He was really raw ya know. When were you born? Wasn’t it 1957?


Yeah.Cancer, Aquarius rising like you said the first day we met. Close to the same age as Billy Bob [Thornton]. He’s my wife Jill’s age. Billy is a Leo on top of a Leo. (laughing)


Oh, My gosh. He rules the world, man. (laughing)


He kinda does really We need to elect him President, that would be a great world. (laughing)


Yeah. (Laughing) He’s be a good ‘un. I want to be his Secretary of Agriculture if he gets elected. (laughing)


Agriculture? I thought you were going to


say Secrfetary of Defense. (Both laughing) Same thing.


Agriculture and Defense the same thing? Exactly.


Depends on what you are growing I sup- pose. What can you tell me about the first band you ever had. The Four of Nine. I was 15-years-old and we had six people in it. We used Roman numerals for the IV of IX, and we basically got thrown out of every gig we played for just being horrible. And for breaking dress code. We were just really rebel- lious back in the early 60’s.We would bring peo- ple in and just have all sorts of fires set and weird stuff, it was basically a circus, it was a Broadway circus or some weird something or other, but it had to be done. We were going to the Homecom- ing Parades and we would take our trailer and join homecoming parades and wear eye patches, just basically being weird, but we had a lot of had a lot of joy in it, to say the least.


And then, later on, you had the band called the Hampton Grease Band that everybody in that area remembers. Yeah, that was about ‘66 we formed. Maybe ‘67.


And you guys recorded an album, right? Yeah, we did an album on CBS Records and it was a double album and it was called the "2nd Worst Selling Record ever." (Both laughing). I have a documentary coming out next month, and Clive Davis took it off the shelf after about 6 weeks. There’s a scene in the documentary about it, it was pretty funny actually. He did not like it. He wanted to get rid of that record pretty quickly.


What was the name of that record? It's called Music To Eat.


Yeah, that’s right. (Laughing) It's probably the weirdest record I've ever made.


Yeah, I've got it in my collection some- where. It kinda made Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart look, you know, tame. Don was pretty wild too.
