As It Was In The Days of Noah

[727Sky]

James Brown (yep that guy the Godfather of Soul) wanted to surprise his lead guitar player with an new custom guitar. We were all in California and arranged a meeting with supposedly one of the best custom guitar makers in California. He was outside his shop and as I walked up to his back it was like I hit a dark force field that repelled me.

A conversation and a deal was done about a new guitar. 2 days later the guy was dead by a gun shot. I thought when I heard the news the cold darkness around him was the finger of death. I am not superstitious (usually in anyway) however the cold darkness was once again experienced in Vietnam many years before only in that case myself and my copilot both felt it; I changed the mission route because of it ... Thinking it was a warning..

James liked a particular blond hooker who showed up at the hotel and spent the next few days having fun and games ...the only other thing I remember is James bitching about the condition of the suit he had rented.
