but they do not get a professional musician. Once married Joe finally decided
to get out of the band, while Katherine worked part time at Sears. Joe and
Katherine always make time to enjoy the music at home. Children often join
their parents to sing songs at home with the parents. Joe often also plays

always remember when he was also enamored with Brown's appearance on that
evening. He even always trying to learn and practice the actions of James Brown
until he can duplicate it perfectly. Sammy Davis Jr. appearance. also one that
