March 10, 1936

Man, we travel alot seven days and three trips alreadyQ I learn something about my dad today, he was a smartman. He always had a white man in the band because blacks can own land so Grnad Calloway Station had to be in a white mans name. Also, Herman E. Calloway sends the white man to get the gigs because he was more likely to get the gig then a black man.
I had to ride back with my dad and I was nervous about it. When we got in the car he popped open the glove box and it was full of rocks just like the ones from my mom that I have in my suitcase! I told him I had some just like that with the writin and eveything, but he didnt believe me. When I did show him my rocks he acused me of taken then from him! Then I told him I wasnt no theif that my momma gave me those So Mr. Jimmy asked my mommas name and when I told him Herman E. Calloway dropped his pipe right out of his mouth. He was shook up! I knew it he was my dad! I told Jimmy I knew I had been right! But Mr. Jimmy told he I was wrong that Herman was not my dad, but as it turns out he is my grandfather.
