In 1975, I was hired to back "The Possum" at the Continental in Lexington.

No one could find him at showtime or for the next 3 days. He finally surfaced...had been in a walk-in closet at the other end of the hotel with several bottles.

Believe it or not, on the third night, he and a friend showed up at my 1:00 AM-4:00 AM job at an after hours club.

I started doing a parody of He stopped Loving Her Today. It was pretty gross....body parts falling off when he embraced her, etc.

Can't imaging why no one liked it!

OH WELL!
