00:10 I'm going home on the morning train.

00:18 It's my dream to go back to my hometown and

00:22 give a show as somebody, as an artist.

00:27 How y'all doing?

00:29 >> I'm an artist.

00:30 >> Okay.

00:31 >> Winford is an artist worth looking at and a person definitely worth knowing.

00:38 >> Most of the things I do now is just from memories as a young guy

00:43 growing up in Cuthbert, Georgia.

00:46 >> All those empty spots you see in there was juke joints,

00:50 haircut parlors and restaurants.

00:53 >> Winford would sit around the table.

00:55 He would tell stories about his self and about things that happened to him as a child.

01:02 I said, all these stories that you're telling, they're gonna be lost when you die.

01:07 Why not do your life story?

01:10 >> 1965, I was 19 years old.

01:14 I decided to be a part of the protest.

01:18 [NOISE]

01:21 Things got out of hand.

01:23 >> Winford was arrested and held in jail in Cuthbert without any charges.

01:30 >> He was a teenager like others.

01:32 It greased my spirit to think about the things that he did go through.

01:39 >> Chang Gang is just inhuman.

01:42 It's just so tough.

01:43 It make you feel like you need to be more than one person in yourself.

01:50 >> The title of this is called All Me.

01:54 That's one person, all these guys is Winford River.

01:59 >> He lived these experiences.

02:02 He's totally authentic, totally authentic.

02:06 >> Who's this?

02:08 >> You know what I thought?

02:10 On my opening night, I thought about the Wilson brothers.

02:16 When they say I'd never be a damn thing, see what they'll say now.

02:21 >> Guess what, y'all?

02:22 I'm back home and I'm somebody.
