"Every year in those days this fella, Al G. Fields came into town. You know, it's a forgotten name because the man was a minstrel. He came into town like a Barnum and Bailey Show, and when he hit there'd be a big parade - that's what this painting is of. That parade was wild, but when it hit the corner of Vine and Central, all hell broke loose. We used to say, 'Those cats break out.'" 43
