No I don't practice any more. I was raised in a religious family, you know. Every morning before we would get up we would have to get on our knees and say prayers, you know. Father was very religious, you know'. But I think I live by the ten commandments up to a point and I think that covers it, you know, I don't misuse nobody and I think that is where its at. I am not an atheist but I don't look. I'll tell you why I stopped going to church.. I used to argue with 'my father,. Everytime I-come home I would always have to go to church., you know', and I'd go to church and I would listen to what people are saying, you know. And the preacher would preach and I would say 25-30. minutes and then for the next hour and 15 minutes he was saying what he needed, you know, like the rug in his parish is, getting a little raggedy, and soon would have to get him a new car, and something like that the car is running bad, Just a host of things,. He spent more time on that than he did the sermon. You understand what I mean, Then to top it off, this one preacher when he was going to college, you remember when I had the big band, I played for their homecoming dance, somewhere in West Virginia, one of those black colleges down there, then he made a big deal out of that. He said, yeh, he was the leader of the band but I'm the leader now. He roasted me for a while you know'. So we got ready to go and shook hands with him and he said, now', listen you go on back to New-York and I need me a tape recorder so you send me a tape recorder back-from New York, you know. I mean this turned me off. I come to hear a sermon, right and 1-got all this, other things, and I know when I was on the road I used to try to go to church all the time, in my younger days, and... when we were in the band and they would start with the devils-in the house tonight.
