One of the
best memories that I had from my years at Ida Burns Elementary School
was when in 1986 Jason Furguson and I performed Run DMC's hit song
"It's Tricky" on stage during a talent show on Enrichment Day.
I remember it very well because the state of Arkansas was celebrating
it's sesquicentennial. We came out on stage walking like Egyptians. I
could not dance to save my life at that time. The only reason that I
even agreed to get on the stage is because Jason was a good friend of
mine and he needed someone to join him on stage. I could not let him
down. I can still see the image of myself dancing across the stage in
those out of style bell bottoms. Growing up poor sure did suck !Somewhere someone has that footage from that event. I would pay good money to have a copy of it. If my memory serves me right, I think that we won that year ! Fun times.
