Me, Age 15, With James Brown
Papa's Got A Brand New Bag...This snapshot was taken in the dressing room at the Howard Theater in DC. James Brown was headlining and I had the honor of going backstage to hang with the artists. This was the first of many occasions for me backstage at the Howard. The Howard was DC's Apollo Theater. All the great R & B, Soul, Blues acts and more played there. Eventually, when I became a music journalist, I spent many nights at the Howard interviewing some of the great musical artists of the time.
