One of most-prized musical experiences was seeing and hearing Big Joe Turner backed by The Blasters in the mid-80's, at Club Lingerie on Sunset Blvd. In the band at that time was Lee Allen, the sax player on many of Little Richard's Specialty recordings. An incredible night of music!
Sitting around a little table right above the dance floor were members of Joe's family. The men were in suits, the women very "dolled up", wearing those little hats with attached "veils", little mink stoles wrapped around their shoulders. It looked like a scene from an old movie!
