Pinkston Band Alumni

The Bus trip was a smashing success. Normally, we would tell you what happens on the bus stays on the bus. I was never apart of the band. But, let me tell you there was a point during the trip that I actually felt like I was apart of the history. As the bus rolled out of Dallas to our destination Boom Town. We watched a video of Prop Washington which set mood. I actually remember thinking to myself "Prop must feel like he is back in the day taking a band trip". I thought "He must be glad he's not responsible for this crew, because I am sure not one of had a permission slip". It was like Soul Plane on a bus. The cast of characters was never ending from the bus driver R&B Rocking Roger and the comical antics of Manual The Entertainer. We had our very own Fly Girls Anita, Vanessa, Artis, Ora and lets not forget the most important fly girl (I mean boy) Crow. With sirius radio and serious raffles we jammed all the way. Seemed like our lear bus arrived in no time at all.

We spent hours gambling, eating and enjoying the atomosphere. Just when it was time to go home and looking forward to the movie after loosing money. What was I thinking! Before we got out of the parking lot Rocking Roger turned up the radio and started low riden the bus to beat of the music. The whole bus turned into background singers. We were the Commodores, The Ojays, The Supremes and few others all rolled into one. We jammed until Tyler and tell me why did Rockin Roger turn up the blues for the remainder of the trip. Oh my! we had two step Miliscent with Benny live on the mic. It was sing along I'll never forget. We pulled into Dallas and there was actually an air of sadness that it had to end. This trip was one that you don't want to tell your grandchildren about. Because what happens on the bus stays on the bus!
