"First time I ever worked in East Orange New Jersey - folks, never go to East Orange New Jersey. It's a horrible town. I went there to play in a coffeehouse in East Orange New Jersey.
It was a chess playing coffeehouse out there. It was so bad, uh, so bad, people playing chess out there. Uh, that's all I thought about was chess and chess and chess. People come up to me, you play a song, and play a real quiet song and in the middle of the song you hear "check" and "hey they was a good move!" and all kinds of stuff like that.
And folks, it was so bad I had a little dream out there the first night I worked about this chess playing stuff. I dreamt I went to work out in East Orange New Jersey and uh by the time I quit in two days and I went there to ask the guy for my money.
I says "Can I have some money I worked two days for you" - he says "uh well okay we don't pay money around here though" - and I says "uh, yeah?" - he says "uh well," he says "uh yeah we pay chess men." - I said "uh well give me my chess men then I worked two days" - I sort of - didn't really figure - I thought he was lying at first but I took it anyway.
He gave me a king and a queen for working two days. I said fine I said okay. So I took my king and queen went down to a bar. Nearest bar I could find I walked in the bar and I ordered a pint. I got in the bar. Bartender I says "Can I have a pint?" I'll be damned if he didn't give me a pint.
He uh, asked me for the money. I gave him my king and queen. I'll be damned. He took took that king and queen, threw them under the counter and brought me out four pawns, two bishops and a rook for change. That's a story about East Orange New Jersey."
