Thank you.

I was 12 years old.

and I got invited to a party.

This was a big deal because in October, and it was this young lady, Tracy.

Now Tracy's a big deal because I was going to church in my neighborhood, and she was the niece of the organist, Sister Matthews.

So she would bring Tracy with her maybe twice a week.

And this was a big deal for me because she was about three years older than me.

She was really pretty, fine to me at 12.

But I could impress her because by her only coming twice a week, only seeing me two times out the month, I could wear that one suit I had.

every other Sunday at church, and she figured I had a bunch of them.

So Tracy is having this birthday party right around in the middle of October, so she's going to make it a costume party.

So all of my cousins go to church, too, and they're like, hey, we're all going to go, because I grew up on the east side.

She's way on the west side, which is a big deal to me back then.

My parents didn't do a lot of traveling on the west side.

So hey, it seemed like out of town to me.

We got on 94 and it said Chicago West.

I thought Chicago was over that side of the river.

Like, when are we ever gonna go to Chicago?

It's right over there.

Always in Detroit.
