I was one of I think three white girls in my school. So, I was very much an outsider. And plus I was Jewish and all of my friends were black and Baptist because they listen to the coolest music. We were all listening to Ray Charles and what was then called race music. ↗

I even went so far as to become a Southern Baptist for a while, until I realized that they didn't hold 'em under long enough. ↗
