"Now there is somethin else durin that period that played a great role in my life. One night after we is finished the first set at the Hodaddy Club, Mose, the drummer for The Cracked Eggs, take me aside an "Forrest, you is a nice clean-cut feller say, an all, but they is somethin I want you to try that I think will make you play that harmonica better."


I axe what it is, an Mose say, "Here," an he give me a little cigarette. I tell him I don't smoke, but thanks, an Mose say, "It is not a regular cigarette, Forrest. It have got somethin in it to expand your horizons."


I tole Mose I ain't sure I need my horizons expanded, but he sort of insisted. "At least try it," he say, an I thought for a minute, an conclude that one cigarette ain't gonna hurt none, an so I do.


Well let me say this: my horizons indeed become expanded.


Everthing seem to slow down an get rosy keen. That secont set we played that night was the best I of my life. I seemed to hear all the notes a hundrit times as I was playing them, an Mose come up to me later an say, "Forrest you think that's good--use it when you're screwin'""
