Billie? I met her. I never talked with her because I didn't feel like her peer. I didn't know how to have a conversation with Billie Holliday. I was in her presence a couple of times. She came to see me when I was in Honolulu at the Tradewinds. She came a couple of times. I think she was getting away from the atmosphere of where she was. It was only a few blocks away and she brought her little dogs, Mexican Chihuahuas, sat at the bar and drank whiskey out of a glass, and for a little while, I thought it was the whiskey that made her what she was, but I figured that out. It didn't take me long. She was a great queen without her court, and she would stand on the stage and hardly anything would ever move. Her eyes would slide from side to side and nobody talked. The room was still like that. Nobody talked. That was the only time I ever had seen her perform, but she did come where I was twice, but I didn't go to the bar and say, oh, hi, Billie. The singers approached me like that, like they really, you know, are my equals now, yes, and I'm friendly, but I wonder about it.
