...much of a connection between them.”The moment when he did make the connection, though, was a pivotal moment in his life. At the age of 17, Boyd had ambitions to be a baseball player, but failed to make the cut as a starter for his high school team. Disappointed, he wandered off and by chance heard Fats Domino’s music coming through a window.“It was the same thing that I listened to in my room, except newer,” Boyd says.
