Ray Page #2
What do you need?
Double scale as leader,
plus 10 percent.
What about the 'Bama?
He's about as green
as a blade of grass.
I can handle him.
Flagstaff, Arizona
Yeah, he's green.
Kingman, Barstow
So, Gossie,
you don't need to worry
about a hotel room
for the 'Bama.
He can flop at my place.
Hey, y'all never change.
Get your kicks
on Route sixty-six
Ray, you coming back to bed?
I'm getting some water.
I can see that,
but mama ain't finished yet.
For the first time anywhere,
let's hear it
for The McSon Trio!
A buzzard took the monkey
for a ride in the air
everything was on the square
Ray, when you
coming out?
In a minute.
Mama's got some more blackberry
cobbler for you, baby.
Damn.
Straighten up
and fly right
Cool down, papa,
don't you blow your top
Marlene, if you're gonna
send us out on tour,
we're gonna need
more than $5 a day.
How come we can't get paid
after each gig?
Because you boys will spend
everything you make.
The club sends the checks
to me, so as I can bank them.
I just want to see
my own checks, that's all.
You don't see, Ray.
You're blind, baby.
Or did you forget?
Now, you want to go out on your
own and see how well you do?
Ray! Hey, Marlene,
where's Ray?
He's in the back bedroom.
And wipe your feet.
Ray, uh, six-nine, where
you at? Six-nine. Six-nine.
to go on the road with him, man!
Lionel Hampton, man!
Sure he did.
Then why you still here?
And dig this:
His wife, shekicked me off the tour bus.
Told me to come back when I
started shaving. You believe that?
Uh... uh, Seven-oh, could you do me a
favor, man, and close that bag for me?
What's wrong? You got two
hands. You can close it yourself.
I got two feet, too.
Could you close it?
I got it.
Excuse me, sir!
Man, we're gonna be late.
I got to get
my own place, Gossie.
Why? I mean,
you got free rent right now.
Like hell it's free rent.
Oh, come on, Ray.
Why you gonna mess
with a good thing?
All I'm saying is you keep
layin' that pipe with Marlene,
and I bet you she's gonna
make us all rich.
Hey, sir, excuse me!
Straighten up
and fly right
Straighten up
and stay right
Straighten up
and fly right
Cool down, papa
Don't you blow your top
Just back from their
triumphant tour
of the Yakima Valley,
The McSon Trio!
They'll be back right here,
same time, same place,
next week.
Hey, baby, you sound more
like Nat than the King himself.
What's your name?
Ray Robinson.
Ray Robinson?
I'm Jack Lauderdale,
Swing Time Records.
Oh, hey... hey, hey, Jack!
How you doing, man?
Good.
Oh, good.
How about us makin'
a record together?
