It's a strange thing. <span class="otherMatch" rel="popover" id="other_2959_1840756">Father Peter</span> O'Brien was going to school down where Father Anthony Woods was, a young boy. See, I met him when he was 19 or 20. He was not really a friend of Father Anthony Woods' but he knew Father Anthony Woods. I happened to be playing in the Hickory House and this little young boy, happy and everything, walked in and sat at the bar. He'd come to see me often. He left and I discovered that he did know Father Anthony Woods. We became very close friends, Father Peter O'Brien and I. You know, a Jesuit priest never stops going to school. He was out in California and he called me and said, "What are you doing? You'd better get out here and do something about jazz. It's dying everywhere. " I said, "I'm not going out there among those lions by myself unless you come with me. " He said, "I'll be back right away. " So he came back and that's how we got together and I dropped the store. In the meantime I had decided to go into business. I had talked with Mr. Wells that owns the Wells Restaurant. He was always so nice to me, like he gave me money to do record dates and everything. I played in his place for him  in Harlem. I was trying to bring white patrons back to Harlem. A lot of them did come up while I was there. So I went back into his place until the same night, day, that the President was assassinated. I couldn't take it; I just came on out. I decided I wanted to go into business. He was talking to me about going into business. In the meantime he married a girl, the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life. She may have been a little upset because Mr. Wells was close to me and he'd always say to me, "Well, Madam Queen, what do you think about me doing so-and-so? " I guess she wanted me to not perhaps interfere with the business, so there was a disagreement there and I decided to drop it all. I lost about $l2,000 of my own money in it because when I worked I'd put it right back in Bel Canto. So I just closed it off right away and let her have anything she wanted to do because it became very disagreeable, and sneaky about a lot of things and I couldn't be in that scene, I had a piano up there and I used to play in the evenings, you know, on the piano. So I took that out and I just left and just forgot about the whole thing.
