Yes, Bill, I played with all the traveling bands...B. J. Thomas, Lewis, The McCoys (Hang on Sloopy) and many others at this little club. I put it all together. At 15, I drove the bus, because no-one else was straight enough to do it. I had a license from Mississippi, where the age was 14.

All these guys traveled with a 6 channel Vocal Master, a tape Echoplex, a 6 wheel truck with a cover and a station wagon for the players. The truck was generally a Ford 350 with 150,000 miles on it.

P.S. Jimmy Swaggert, Lewis' cousin was on several trips and played piano better than him (sober, I guess).
