Really, this is a good performance but it’s not his best because that’s not his band. I know you can hear they’ve speed up the song faster but it sounds good Jr. He was my daddy’s favorite artist and he saw him in person, he said they sound exactly like the record. Check on line for his performances they are one of a kind.. Check out “Green Onion” it’s a beautiful instrumental song from back then.

One of my customers was a producer of Dave's show on NBC. I bartended on the Jersey Shore. Dave is also a Fraternity Brother. He was going to take my friend on I backstage to meet him. Unfortunately he had to leave immediately after the show. Actually we were in no shape to meet him. We went to McSorleys Ale House and had a few before the show. They served you like 5 mugs at a time. George Carlin was the guest and like the oldest Brownie or Girl Scout. The show was taped around 5. We took the train back home and prepared to watch it. Obviously we kept on drinking, we passed out and missed it. My buddy, who I still talk to or text everyday still has a copy of it.
