Josh White, Jr.

My first memory of singing with my father "professionally" was in the Village, in New York at Café’ Society. I was four years old and it was 1944. My old man always performed standing with his right foot on a chair. As I recall, at that time, someone had made for him a square piece of wood as high as the seat of a chair that had no back with some kind of dark covering for his foot to tap on. With only one microphone those days to capture both the vocals and the guitar, Dad would have me stand on the same chair his foot was on so I could be heard.
….
Whenever I "do" my old man’s music, I close my eyes and though the people listening hear and see me, in my mind’s eye and ear, I am taken back to another earlier time when my sister, Beverly, and I would be in the wings of a venue harmonizing, absorbing and waiting to be called back on stage to close the evening with the old man … oh … it was a time, it was!"
