Oh, that reminds me, I had met Etta James as well. She was performing at a military something or other and I was helping doing a set-up for the dining hall at the NCO club at Mildenhall RAF in England. I was stacking champagne glasses when her entourage came in and started to take seats. I went to take up coats and she had a fur thing and took my hand and told me how it was to be stored, not hung. I noticed her eyes were yellowish like many older women and men of colour. When I hung them all up and put her fur away I went back to move the champagne glasses and she called me over and said she would dedicate a song to me (as a tip I think). I stayed for a few songs and ended up buying one of her bawdier albums later that year.
