Jimmy Spruill is a very odd kind of a person, just has his own thing


pdfs of issues 11-20, with thanks to the original sharer

I had a deal I used to do when I played saxophone when we'd get into it, I'd get on my knees or I'd fall on my back and me and this other saxophone player would kick our heels up in the air, man. We were playing in one of these real dives, man, I mean the floor looked like it had mud on it all the time, but it was a packed house. We started puttin' on our act and the saxophone player and I walked out through the crowd and we fell down on the floor, so the guitar player decided to join us. He fell down on his knees, and then he fell down on his back, man, and he was playin  his guitar with his teeth and the piano player looked around and saw him on the floor and he stopped right in the middle of the song and he got on the microphone and he told him, 'Hey, get up offa that floor with my suit on!' That cracked the house up.

  1. Hi Johnny,
    I'm so grateful to you for posting these issues. I didn't think I'd ever have an opportunity to read them. I love the articles, the discographies, the reviews - tremendous! Thanks so very much for sharing them!
