He met his cousin from his fathers side. And as it happened that I was also in New York at the same time, he invited me to join them in the Bells of Hell. I got a very warm wellcome from the cousin (if I remember correct, he was employed there) and his friends. Wie had a very good time together an several beers. One of the friends spoke also a little German. He learned it in Hannover (in Germany) during the time he worked there as a man who kept the streets clean. <br />I have been writing this as I think there is very little possibillity that on of the men might remember that.

A 72 yr old geezer native Brooklynite of well, haha, <br />first generation Scottish descent, i ran some wild years in the 1970's through that world of lower Manhattan saloons with bonafide character and charm, <br />and on drunk nights about i at times did stop in there, usually on may way to 14th street L subway back to home turf. At first i didnt know it was McCourt's joint , i knew only of his raconteur legend through WBAI radio at that time, <br />but the place oozed with great thinking-drinkers vibe, contagious<br />laughter as i listened in, and sometimes rockin Irish music makers in the back,<br />So eh, My personal anecdote that i acted out in a well, <br />borderline walking blackout from a long day of chasing the "Experiences"<br />across lower manhattan hubs of everything from early days of punk rock <br />to sesuins' if were happening, so, in Bells on wall back twds the mens room,<br />was a framed commercial poster of a i think i remember as White Rock beverages back then around NY, with great illustration of a wide eyed<br />grinning bugger on knees staring into a pond that had topless <br /> female fairy gals staring up at him from the water, a great poster that i stood staring at , as my drinkin partner in crime that night , another Bklyn guy like me, Dared Me to try to take it off the wall and Walk out the door with it,<br />was a pending rain night out there, i was wearing a family long <br />raincoat , well, yep, This Drunk Fool took it down as my pal stood lookout, <br />git it all way up hidden in the coat , and eh , "nonchalanted" strolled past the bar and out the door. I hustled in the rain across the street to a doorway<br />so Proud of my sophomoric stunt , oped my coat to look at when <br />Kaboom!, cannot make this up, a cop cruiser pulled up at the curb right next to me and lowered window , Hey, You, get over here!,<br />ok pal where'd ya get that thing ?, well, of course these guys <br />KNEW where it had been hanging , they were occasional <br />customers i guess, the bigger cop, Yes Irish -lookin of curse,<br />walked me across the sreeetm back thrpughthe door his hand pushing my<br />shoulder , and he just announced to the barman , Hey look what i just found<br />outside! all the bar patrons looked at me and my treasure, knowing immediately what it was , the barman went looked at the empty spot on the wall, and the Cop asked him, what'll we do with this shithead?,<br />Wanna press a charge? Nah the barman said laughing , <br />as he said, we will make him hang it back up<br />and Get full bar round of drinks On His dumb ass , cop loved it, left, <br />i walked the walk of shame, hung it back up,<br />as i returned to bar, my pal had flew the scene gone not in <br />sight of course, left me hangin , i emptied my cash showed them wallet and pulled out pants pockets , place all including coins! on the bar<br />'That'll cover a round ! Drink up on this Shithead! " <br />well i tased if i clild get one m, the bar in unison Roared at that <br />Give Him One ?, a small 1/2 pint i downed and trying to say a fool's <br />apology was pelted with straws and stuff, and out the door i escaped . <br />Yes a Great saloon it was! and I will be searching thought this very cool blog site for its years of topics that might tweak some more Fond haha memories.<br />Thank You, with admiration, <br />Bruce "Rudy" Robertson , 72 yr geezer native Bklyn,<br />now living for some years in quiet exile out in, haha, <br />Hawaii. yep. and sober i am . <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16034332.post-52984679259750599782023-03-19T17:25:11.671-04:002023-03-19T17:25:11.671-04:00I’m so sorry.I’m so sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16034332.post-19217032241707810392023-03-19T12:19:53.420-04:002023-03-19T12:19:53.420-04:00with thanks and much appreciationwith thanks and much appreciationAlan Ginsbergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16034332.post-57376742857287644072023-01-21T22:36:56.618-05:002023-01-21T22:36:56.618-05:00Brilliant Claude, Now sit back and listen to Four ...Brilliant Claude, Now sit back and listen to Four way street.

It was his favorite dart bar and a friend of mine played there occasionally, Michael Simmons. He was also the editor at National Lampoon at the time. His band was Slewfoot, which he described as cowboy punk. They also played at O’Lunny’s frequently. I have lots of fond memories there, but it’s where Ed and I broke each other‘s hearts and went separate ways. I loved living in New York back in those days, Studying illustration at SVA and paying a whopping $300 a month in rent in the West Village.Kathleen Sullivannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16034332.post-36784336742163104662022-02-13T23:22:58.301-05:002022-02-13T23:22:58.301-05:00Wow.

I didn't have nearly as much contact with him as I did with Ron, though Doug did once credit me with having a "million dollar idea." His client was afraid its activities might put it afoul of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. I did some quick research and found that registering as an investment adviser simply involved filling out a simple application and paying a modest fee (I think it was $50 in 1973), with no exam required. It also didn't expose the licensee to any liability or onerous reporting requirements. So my advice was something later adopted by Nike as their slogan: "Just do it!"Claude Scaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13183579833702456213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16034332.post-60307756543622907332022-02-03T17:55:24.085-05:002022-02-03T17:55:24.085-05:00Sorry to read about your ankle, Claude.
