I remember all of that. I played for Smitty Smith in his 2 or 3 clubs too. Our singer arranged it all, I just played guitar. I remember the drummer playing along with songs to dance to. I would get dates and go dance to your dad at the Electric Circus often. gee, what a time then. I'm 67 now, but remember it all.

Yes, there is a box in a closet with maybe 8 or 10 labeled Soul Kings. I haven't thought about that in a while, but when I get home from work this time, I'm going to get that out and see what I can do to get all that digital.

Man, let me know about the cost. I'd be more than willing to help out or pay for the entire thing. If you're from Crowville, we have to know each other or know of each other.

When I get something digital I can share, I'll be sure to get it to you and Mr. John

John is a Lake Charles boy, if I’m not mistaken. I once, by sheer chance,smoked a joint with him and another member of the Roller Coasters one night in Natchitoches. I laughed my arse off with those guys.

If you asked Duane Yates his opinion of the Blues Brothers, you were taking your life in your hands. lol
