stecropper Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Never saw those Movies .......... But my Music heritage goes back with my brother who was inducted in the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. He played with Vince Vance and the Valiants; Edgar Winters White Trash; Chase; backed up Sam & Dave. Actually was on the Carson show once. I was only their valet. Setting up the gear, working the lights and driving the bus. Also, taking care of the Ladies while they were performing ( I enjoyed that part ). My music talents were extremely limited. I couldn't even play the radio but I did know how to play the Ladies. They fired me after they found out how good I actually was!!! His reason for being in the Louisiana Hall of Fame was because of being in a group called Blue Eyed Soul of the "Boogie Kings". Renowned Band from Louisiana that toured the World in the '60s. We focused mostly on Soul music at the time but a lot of Rock and Roll as well. After getting busted I joined the Marines. BTW - We actually made the Walter Cronkite nightly news in '68 when he announced to the world that a "Large Family Drug Ring in Louisiana was Busted". It was My Brother, My Uncle, My Cousin, & I. BIG NEWS at the time but happy to say no charges stuck as My Dad used up all his political chips in Louisiana and everything ended up OK for us. Lost many friends though through that fiasco as their parents didn't allow them to hang with me after that. Other than being implicated in a Federal Arrest for stealing 180 cases of beer from a Railroad Train along with several of my baseball teammates at the time my Life has been pretty much on the straight and narrow thereafter. Needless to say we didn't make it to the State Playoffs that year. I guess joining the Marines for 6 years shortly there after helped out afterall. I do have a couple other bits of interesting things but will save it for our time together. And NO Steve Cropper is not my Brother !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kccitystar Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Back to the topic...just in case you all end up going, this is how I look like. my hair is often in an afro but when it's not in an afro, its beat up like this, especially in the morning...

stecropper Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Oh, the only reason they caught us with the 180 cases of Beer was because we couldn't drink it all, no matter how hard we tried, so one of my teammates got the bright idea of using it for target practice on the levee before practice one day. There we were - tossing up Beers and shoting them with shot guns and didn't even notice the State Police riding on the Levee watching us having so much fun ............. needless to say we didn't make it to practice that day. Actually, I wasn't going to practice that day anyway because I had been suspended the day before at practice when I mis judged a fly ball to center ----- when I fell my beer in my back pocket spilled all over my head and as I sat in center trying to salvage the last remaining drops my coach told me it would be best for me to take a couple days off. So that is why we went back to the Levee the next day in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stecropper Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 True story .......... in the mid '60s my brothers band The Boogie Kings did a lot of traveling gigs between New Orleans and Houston. There was a young girl from the Beaumont area that sat in with us a few nights in hope of joining the Band. This chick was SOME GOOD .... I mean she could just flat out whale out a song ......... but she was really sort of a nasty kinda chick and couldn't stay out of the back seat of the buses with adoring admirers of her musical talents along with other talents she possessed and enjoyed exercising .......... PLUS She was Damn Ugly at that ----- so we had to ask her to find another gig .......... this chick was Janis Joplin !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stecropper Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Mets86 & ajwines, No minimum requirement on time as an MVPModder to join the gathering. Since it is projected to be in Aug You will be a long timer by then. Hang around a few days and You will see the really diverse and helpful group of MVPModders around here. Until then I will put each of you down as possibilities of participating in our MVPMods Community Gathering. Then after a few days if you think it is something you would enjoy then just let us know and we will move you to the Interested category. Welcome & Enjoy, Don New Orleans I think I recall a former Member named Mets86 or something close to that anyway - not that you are that person - but just to let you know why the possible questioning of your length of time here.
