WHEN GIANTS ROAMED THE EARTH [:59] Flying Home under LLOYD: I grew up in a time when giants roamed the Earth. I had the benefits of being around lots of great musicians in my hometown of Memphis. RUFFIN: Now, A Jazz Moment WITH SAXOPHONIST CHARLES Flying Home under Lloyd: There were two theaters, the Esquire Theater and the W.C. Handy Theater in my community of Orange Mound. That's where we lived.  And a lady who ran the theater, she knew my mother had this large house. There weren't hotels of quality for these musicians. And so Duke Ellington and Lionel Hampton and Count Basie, these bands would come through. And they would stay with us. And I couldn't wait for them to get up in the morning, so I had questions, ya know. (BEAT) Yeah, that was mecca for me.
