Yeah he was that badass as a youngster, you know good talent

I met him through Clayton George who lived across the street from me in Oak Cliff. He and Stevie would jam with Roy and Gypsy on a park bench at Stevens Park. I never imagined he would take the scene by storm the way he did. I didn't hang with him at school or nothing like that. Just at the park on occasion. Doing stuff 14 and 15 yr old kids weren't supposed to do but we didn't give a damn. Life was fun then. I tell people that story sometimes and I often get that yeah right look. IDC!

If I’m not mistaken, he’s so good that when he was 14 his mom chaperoned him as he burnt the bar scene down

Hey Paul! Yeah. He played in the gym for us a couple times at Stockard Jr High. I think we were 13 or 14 back then. 70 or 71. Probably 71. Yeah. I was in Puerto Rico 69 and 70
