had seriously discovered girls. 310 00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:23,727 I discovered the ladies not in the same way I discovered music, 311 00:18:23,852 --> 00:18:27,731 but enough to win the heart of a beautiful girl named Jeri Caldwell 312 00:18:27,815 --> 00:18:29,024 from my high school. 313 00:18:30,109 --> 00:18:33,987 Night after night, as I wandered in and out of clubs, bars, and juke joints 314 00:18:34,071 --> 00:18:37,825 with my trumpet beneath my arm and my scores tucked beneath my shirt, 315 00:18:38,158 --> 00:18:41,161 a tiny glint of something new began to emerge in my life. 316 00:18:41,662 --> 00:18:43,413 Something I'd never had before. 317 00:18:44,790 --> 00:18:48,877 I had no control over where I lived, no control over my sick mother. 318 00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:50,879 I couldn't control the angry whites 319 00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:54,383 who still called me "nigger" when they caught me alone on the street. 320 00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:57,761 But music was one thing I could control. 321 00:18:58,428 --> 00:19:01,348 It was the one thing that offered me my freedom. 322 00:19:04,518 --> 00:19:07,396 Lionel Hampton was like a god in those days. 323 00:19:07,855 -->

black bands had white bus drivers 332 00:19:42,139 --> 00:19:44,975 to go in the restaurants to get the food to bring it back to the band. 333 00:19:45,976 --> 00:19:47,603 We hit some city in Texas,
