    Production notes
    At the start of their appearance at the Apollo Theater, the host Frankie Crocker, a New York d.j. who introduced them, chided their evident late arrival saying (slightly off mic):

    "Y'know, every time we used to go downtown to them jive jobs they give us, they always say 'black folks: late, can't be on time,' now look at the White Trash!" (chuckle)

    The comment was met with laughter from the audience. After the introduction, the audience again broke out into sporadic laughter, and a loud gasp after seeing Edgar's albino complexion, possibly not expecting much from the band as it consisted of all white musicians (apart from drummer Ramirez), but their doubts were quickly dispelled when the band launched into "Cool Fool", a funky R&B song.

    This snippet appears on the original vinyl release at the beginning of Side 4.

    Buddy Holly and the Crickets (then just called The Crickets) played The Apollo for six nights in 1957.

    Johnny Winter was a great Texas bluesman. There were a couple of white axe players from there like him. Stevie Ray Vaughan was an even better one. Larry Coryell was a jazz guitarist from Texas and incredible.

    Lightin' Hopkins, T-Bone Walker, Freddie King and many more had a darker skin shade and could really play.

    But nobody had a whiter skin than Johnny Winter as an albino.

    I had the honor of sitting next to Bo on an airplane from Atlanta to Gainesville. Last row on a 737, left side. Only two seats and I had the window and Bo had the aisle. We discussed music. Duh.
