Little Dances

Base: "When I was about four or five still wearing dresses, I lived with mother in a place called Brick Row - a lot of cement, rented rooms sort of like a motel. And right in the middle of that on Perdido Street was the Funky Butt Hall old, beat up. Big cracks in the wall. On Saturday nights, Mama couldn't find us because we wanted to hear that music. Before the dance the band would play out front about a half-hour. And us little kids would all do little dances."
