KING CURTIS & THE KINGPINS february 1965 a barn dance venue ...no cover charge in East Middlebury, Vermont...audience of about 100 ...they opened with Memphis Soul Stew, fatback drums, Cornell Dupree on guitar, and a skinny left handed kid with his hair in a process, introduced as Jimi James...said he was on his way to England...he showed us how guitar should be played...to this day i contend he played on Otis Redding's Ole man trouble on Stax. the rest is history.
