He named Fats Domino in 1949 but he used to play at the Robin Hood and the Dew Drop Inn.<br />My dad is in his late 90s and still in the music scene and reading about you to him and the other posts, brought back a lot of memories for him.<br />We've been in Seattle since 2008 and he mentioned your name immediately as a great drummer and my father has incredible musical taste.Second Line Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152948043333120335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17166659.post-73546617636211631862010-07-03T23:18:26.191-07:002010-07-03T23:18:26.191-07:00I found you, Leslie!

I am Tom Funk and was the tenor player with that group. I had gigged at the 'Dream Room' in New Orleans on Bourbon St. around 1961 with a road group for the 'Hollywood Argyles'. Now, back to playing with you- I remember the bass player who played in our group with Leslie would fall off the stage at times from, what they said, being famished from not having the money to eat.I am now 72, I have embraced the Baha'i Teachings over the last 40 years and it's a whole new world of wisdom for humanity and actually is promoting the unity of all people no matter what their background in a way that has now created a worldwide community about 6 million strong. I think about you Leslie - especially when I hear something like Barbara George singing, 'I Know' with the band & you putting down what could be said was close to a 'reggae' feel. Loving greetings to you and yours, T.F.Toffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202569535948938488noreply@blogger.com
