Richard Davis lived 3 houses down. We would chill on his steps and drink lemonaide. He didn't like to talk about Van Morrison. Roscoe Mitchell and Clyde Stubblefield lived real close too. But I never drink 'aide with them. Richard was a professer of mine.
This dude Tyrone who was a drummer for B.T. Express used to live across the street from me (or rather I lived across the street from him; I then moved two blocks north). More recently, he backed up Pucho weekly at the Cotton Club. He also ran a label during the eighties called PNP (not to be confused with P&P) that put out a number of rap/electro 12"s, including one I really like by a group called the Sons of Harlem.
When I was in law school, one of the building's janitors had been a roadie for Mass Production--fascinating guy; he was also an amateur herpetologist.
My next door neighbors right now (we also share the backyard with them):
Michelle
Alex (guitarist on left). Great LP BTW.
The guy who used to live across the street from my parents (after I went off to college):
Finally the guy who bought the house I grew up in, although he never moved in. My mom has his cell number. To the other neighbors he's known simply as "the rapper."

Don't lie it was Old Man he was playing.
