'This was in June 1964, during the Stones' first trip to America. They hadn't even recorded "Satisfaction" yet, so they were still pretty unknown over here. But Phil always liked them, so he let them sleep in the offices of Philles Records on York Avenue when they first got to New York. The only problem was, Phil's secretary would kick them out as soon as she opened the place up every morning. Since they didn't know anybody else in New York, the guys would usually end up on our doorstep.
My mother was always nice to our rock and roll friends, especially the Rolling Stones, who usually looked like they could use a good meal. Whenever Mick or Keith came around, she would say, "You boys just come on in here and sit down. Would you like me to make some eggs?" Their answer was always the same: "Yes, Mrs. Bennett. If it's not too much trouble."'
