"Rickey Calloway and his NT Express Band use to performed at the Newport Hotel & Castaways in Miami Beach passing the hat around for change, at the pool side. I caught the eye of Wayne Cochran one day as he watched from his Penthouse Suite, Mr.Cochran sent for me to meet him, He told me that I was good, He invented me and my band to his show that night. Oh Boy, what a performance.I've seen James Brown Live a few times, Mr. Cochran sounded great, good showmanship. This was in the early 70s"

Wayne recruited many horn players from Berklee School of Music in Boston, a famous College for it's jazz heritage.

Growing up in Chicago, I saw Wayne play at the Rush Up several times and The Castaway's Bowling Alley in Calumet City had a huge lounge that I played at with a show group that I was in. It was owned by the same folks that owned The Castaways in Miami. I saw Wayne there a few times as well. A drummer friend of mine from Chicago played percussion in the C. C. Riders and got my band an audition at the Castaways in Miami. They were the model for every show band in America.

I seem to remember Wayne Cochran and the CC Riders playing at "The Other Place" once in a while in Daytona Beach back in the late 60's or early 70's. They were awesome!

I have the dubious distinction of having Wayne hit my brand new Acoustic 360 bass amplifier smack in the front of the control panel when hurling around a bottle of vodka at the Miami Newport Hotel Seven Seas Lounge in the early 70's, around the time his LP "Cochran" was released in 1972, complete with the 14 piece CC Riders. Wayne always paid for any damage caused. And he left a trail of damage wherever he played. But he was unbelievably great and hard core soul man.
