I worked the Rendezvous bar at Resorts International when Chris played there. I remember his Harley Davidson stool. And at the end of the evening, he got on his big Harley motorcycle and rode off.
Love Chris' playing. He's got the groove and a big pocket! Played with Louis Jordan later, some cool videos of Chris with that band on The Beat TV show, they are on RUclips. He's a bit older and still killing it...
+TheElalalexy hey there, my son told me you commented, do you live in Atlantic City? My name is Tana. My mother is JoAnn and my Aunt is Yvette - both daughters of Chris' ex Jessie Redfox.

Did he volunteer for Meals On Wheels? Or was a recipient?
