Summary

TESS TRAINER: "What are you doing up so early? Did I leave a roach here? Did you see a roach here? Damn. (Sighs) (Sits on a bed). Had a lousy night. Couldn't sing for shit. It was a lousy crowd. I hate LA. All they do is snort coke and talk. La-la-da-da-da...la-la. Yeah, I recognize that. I like that. I wish Chick was here. Tsk. Maybe I'll get a job in Amsterdam. Chick loved it there. Everyone does. They really know how to treat a jazz person there. How was your night? How'd your hand do? I remember, Chick damn near cut his finger off once. It was in Kansas City. And he was working with Anita O'Day, and, uh--I forget. And he punched the window of a car out 'cause he'd left the keys inside. That was really a hard time for him to play because...the cut was on his slide hand. It kept opening up. And I knew it hurt him. And when I saw that guy walk in that club--(Chuckles) I knew it wasn't gonna hurt much longer. (Chuckles) (Lies down on the bed) He walked straight to Chick. Chick bent down....looked up at me and smiled. He said "Five minutes. Five minutes." Well, I'd heard that before. Five hours later I got a phone call..Could I please come and get my old man 'cause...he'd O.D.'d and they didn't want him in the house. So...I got there as fast as I could. And--(sighs) he was turning blue.....(Sings) Blue....And wrapped in sorrow....blue....Like there's....no...(Falls alsleep).....
