MABON "TEENIE" HODGES:
I never met Junior Wells...Well, somethin' happened in Memphis--this club on Beale Street, Beale and Danny Thomas Boulevard, called...I forget, I didn't actually go to the show, but my first cousin who played bass with Buddy Miles for eight years and Hendrix for eight months--Roland(?) Robinson--went to the show...the Hippodrome, it was called. Junior was onstage there, he was performin', the stage was maybe eight feet high, you know, from the floor. And Junior fell off o' th' stage accidentally. And he jumped up and grabbed the mic and said, "Don't worry people, I'm not hurt, that was only part of the show." But it was really an accident.
