"We were down in Florida from the years '67 through '71 and when I was fourteen missouri I sat in with Duke's band in West Palm Beach. Duke, as you remember, would never get off the missouri piano during intermission, he always missouri composed. So he's sitting at the piano and I'm in the wings right there, and there's a big crowd there, like 15,000 people or something, big West Palm Beach Auditorium thing, and Duke says, 'Hey, Duffy, get up here!' And Cootie was juiced and says, 'Aw, Duke, don't let that kid play, man!' You know, that kind of thing. "So I got up there and we just started playing with the rhythm section. Jeff Castleman was the bassist at that time and he was only around nineteenor twenty and a great bass player. I was fourteen. Just bass and piano and drums. I started just playing time on the high-hat, real soft and easy, and none of the guys in the band, except for Cootie, were on the bandstand yet, 'cause they all trickled off whenever they felt like it."
