I remember the time I went to get this Mercedes, I saw this classic Mercedes, and I said, you

know, when you're a musician, your credit came through.

Well, my credit was good, but it wasn't strong enough, so I didn't write that time, because

I said, I damn know I want this Mercedes.

I said, I got to get this Mercedes.

It wasn't a $1 ,500, but $1 ,500 back in them days was hard to get.

So I hadn't gotten in yet, you know, I was still doing them $10 a night jazz gigs.

So anyway, then I signed a contract with the show.

There was nobody buying a Mercedes either.

said, I still want that Mercedes.

What?

I had that Mercedes before the week was up, man.

I just signed a contract.

They knew the money was good, you know.

They knew the money was good, man.

I said, Mr. Regan, come get your car.

And hello.
