The speaker describes regularly encountering local funk musicians—Roger Troutman, Steve Arrington, members of the band Slave—and notes that his brother was a member of Slave.

Chapters

Growing up in Dayton, we would see those guys all the time. We would see the Roger Troutmans, the Steve Arrington, the guys from Slave. Of course, my brother being a member of the slave group, we would see, you know, Suge and all those people, you know, in the Triangle park at festivals and at the store Shirley Murdoch rented Shirley Murdoch so many times in our old Metro grocery store. It's just like, hey, how you doing, Ms. Murdock? How you doing, baby? Okay. You know, this is one of those things, right? And just it was like every day for us. We were very fortunate to be in that city in that era during that time, man, it was like we were in our own version of Hollywood. But there was no conceitedness or anything that would downplay you as a human, Right? I mean, they treated all their fans as family.
