Jackie Wilson: Higher and Higher. I'm sure you could work a funky jam in there somehow and make it last for an hour on Sunday.

Nina Simone.

I'm such a goddam nitpicker, but Fritz, the Church of John Coltrane was not in the Mission, but Western Addition.

Have you ever been? I tried half-heartedly to contact them at one point for a newspaper piece, but never got a call back.

I've been to the Church of St. John Will-I-Am Coltrane, but not for a service. They Church used to have a radio show in SF and I won a phone-in contest that asked for the names of the two people thanked in the notes to A Love Supreme who didn't play on the album. I had to go to the church to get the shirt (I used to live about six blocks from the place.)

It was a tiny room (yes, in Western Addition, two blocks from Haight St. at Divis. & Oak) with a dozen or so pews. I hung out while I waited for the woman from the radio to show up. She was an Elder of the church. Two guys were setting up the stage for an evening service. To test the microphone, they read the liner notes to "A Love Supreme" Gregorian-chant style! Then they started wailing, drums and sax. Very cool. Sister Williams showed up and gave me this ugly t- shirt and a big hug (extra big because she was a very big woman.) Very cool evening, all in all.
