Joe left, and then people come out, and Leonard kept trying to play Joe’s pattern, but we didn’t have the band, because we didn’t know how Joe played and everybody had a different style, and Leonard kept wanting to play behind Joe, because he had been working with Joe.

Mr. Griffin. How did Joe happen to quit?

Mr. Aycox. I don’t know why he quit or nothing like that, but I just heard he was going to quit, and maybe he got a job paying more money.

Mr. Griffin. On how many Sundays during the time you were with Ruby did Mr. Ruby come out to the club and give you instructions?

Mr. Aycox. I think about 3. I don’t think I stayed there over 3 weeks, maybe.

Mr. Griffin. Did he come out every Sunday?

Mr. Aycox. He come out every Sunday.

Mr. Griffin. When did you rehearse on Sundays?

Mr. Aycox. Well, suppose to rehearse from about 1 o’clock to 3. Sometimes from 1:30 to 2:30, something like that. Sometimes we rehearsed to 3.

Mr. Griffin. Did he come out and stay the entire time?
