"Monday nights at Lincoln Park was something to see, especially when the madamsand the pimps brought their stables of women to hear Bolden play. Each madam had different colour girls. Ann Jackson featured mulatto, Maud Wilson featured high briwn, so forth and so on. And them different stables was different colours. Just like a bouquet." (18)
In this passage we can deduce that Bolden plays in a brothel or not a very classy place. It is also clear that he wasn’t the most famous blues player in town or is just starting off his career due to the fact that he plays on "Monday nights at Lincoln Park" (18). Last but not least the bar/brothel is full with madams (pimps) with their assistants, each madam with a different class of girls making the environment kind of not in place as if there was something missing. Perhaps Bolden couldn’t find himself, so he played in front of a large varied group of people to feel acceptance which is what every human being strives for.
