Saw him at our meeting in 1992. Awesome. He carried instant grits in his suit pocket so when he was up north in airport restaurants he just ordered a bowl of hot water and made his own. he said, "don't believe me?"
Reached in his suit pocket pulled out a pouch and tore it open on stage and grits danced all over the floor.
He could bring the house down anytime he wanted.
He was master of the hook, if you know what I mean.
