Yeah, 'Strings', L.A. had its periodic problems with the black communities when they erupted...but that is a far cry as to what went on in the South......There was no active KKK, lynchings, 'back of the bus' crap and all the rest. The South was legendary..even openly electing over the top prejudiced officials...Byrd, Wallace, etc etc,

Hey, where in L.A. were you? and when?....maybe we've met inadvertently, maybe even played a same gig....
