And I just got this like pit in my stomach and I'm like, I'm almost ready.
I'm almost turning 19.
And then they looked at Al and he goes, I said, oh, it's not his fault.
I go, he sees me in all the bars and probably thought I was 21 already.
I said, but I'm not 21.
And they said, okay, well, you can't come into the club until you're 21.

But you can be our friend.
And I said, I would love that to keep hanging around with you guys and seeing you guys out and stuff like that.

I loved pouring concrete.
The boss I had, me and him became very close.
His name's Merrill Healy.
And I became like a little brother to him.
He was 10 years older than me.
And he taught me that concrete game.
And I loved pouring concrete.
It was physical, you know, I would pour concrete all day.
