My barber was a classmate of mine while we were attending high school. A son of a preacher man that was very strict on his son. Jerry was a great singer and piano player. He could sing and play the piano just like Jerry Lee Lewis' song, " Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On."
His father was also a barber and had his shop in front of their house in a small building. One day he came into the house and we were up in Jerry's room and he was playing and singing, " Whole Lot Of Shaking Going On." Jerry's father hollered up at him to stop singing and playing that Rock and Roll. " Jerry if you must play and sing; do some gospel music."
Jerry did play and sing gospel music later in life with a Gospel Quartet he formed.
Once at Jerry's barber shop years ago, Jerry had a pair of trick glasses that he kept on the counter with the tools of his trade. Upon setting down in his barber chair he would take a person's glasses off while he cut their hair. When he finished he would clean the glasses and hand them back to the client.My friend Paul, was finished with his haircut and Jerry gave him back the cleaned glasses. Paul paid for the haircut and put the glasses on and headed for the door with everyone watching. He was having trouble finding the doorknob with the trick glasses on. He replied in a very serious voice, "I THINK I'M GOING BLIND." Everyone's laughter gave Paul a clue that he had been had with those trick glasses. The funny part, the glasses looked just like the ones he wore.
