HOLLYWOOD MOONLIGHT

(COOL BREEZE)
there I was age mid teens sitting in the famous "TROPICANA NIGHT CLUB" at a table with my manager and touring band members they were drinking alcoholic beverages and me well I had a very very very very beautiful blonde licking and blowing in my ear and dancing in front of me wearing a bikini.we were there for a meet and greet, I never been to the Tropicana night club before back in the day it was famous for having the MOST beautiful girls in the world ,the girls danced and oil wrestling in a small swimming pool,sure this NIGHT CLUB would be highly offensive today and I don't know if it still exists today but if it does I recommend it.I write this blog about my growing up in my showbiz experience to share a point of view, today's funny men and women make me say "what the hell!" out loud, I try and try to study today's comedy but it just doesn't make sense, but a teenage boy from the hood in the Tropicana night club with a gorgeous blonde with blue eyes licking in his ear and he is about to explode, make sense! I remember the band members that night, I never seen them happier like kids in a free candy store! our manager sat and talked with men wearing very expensive suits and drinking and smoking cigarettes yes in those days smoking was allowed inside night clubs.

(UNDER THE SHINNING STARS)
During my comedy clubs years I met some famous comedians male and female,I will always remember a night when I was riding in the passenger seat,while the famous comedian,( I will not say his name) or ( the luxurious vehicle we  were driving in) was driving down sunset boulevard in Hollywood California,it was after a show at a famous comedy club,back in the day sunset boulevard was a street the high maintenance prostitutes walked on, it was the street that call girls for the rich and famous hang out on,like, when a street walker name D,Brown get arrested with h. Grant the famous actor. we were driving down sunset boulevard a.k.a the sunset strip when the famous comedian stopped the car and waited, a beautiful African American woman walk to his driver side window, I saw big cleavage! all in his face! she smelled good too!,they were talking about his shows and movies and stuff like that, and in the conversation my lil young self heard these words coming out her mouth  "I don't fuck with black men" as a young man sitting next to a idol it was...like OUCH!. that night when he dropped me off at home before he drive away, he said to me "lil bro no matter how much money, education, or fame, I have, I will still be just another negro to the world".. I never forgot that.

(RED TAPE)
sometimes I look back at my showbiz experience and what would have happen if I didn't have my own production company.I left the touring band because of financial gain. I remember one night at a famous comedy club the club agent told vann duke and sammy to keep the material clean when on the stage, so before I go on stage a regular club female comedian is doing dirty material on stage,the audience was eatting it up, so she walked off stage and I walk on stage, doing clean material on stage but the audience is not enjoying the clean act so I which to dirty material and the audience is enjoying the dirty material ,the club agent run and turn off the stage lights, so now I let sammy go like a wild pit bull dog then she the club agent run to turn the microphone off, then SAMMY said  "it' says age 21 and older on the door but where the fuck are the milk and cookies!"

('DREAM OF SAMMY')
I lay down here under the Hollywood moon light looking up at the stars as a very old man, my body is in so much pain,my mind has so many wonderful memories of vann duke and Sammy..
some people may say to you life is nothing but a dream, then I dream of Sammy...a poor little boy dragging a trunk with a ventriloquist doll name Sammy in side all over California....I dream of Sammy, not in my wildest imagination,I could conjure up of owning a ventriloquist doll name Sammy...=smiley face=
in my dreams I dream of Sammy, as I dream I rest in peace.
