The government did something very well and this emerging adolescent fellow found out just how well with the help of his fellow neighborhood buddies, the great resources of a great city park and a whole heap of smoldering testosterone and practical imagination......sounds cryptic- but I assure you, it ain't!

Thanks!  Next episode drops Friday 2/7/25

Come here the story that intersects WW2, the United States Postal Service, the Beatles 1st appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, my love of the bass guitar and youthful over-exuberance and under-appreciation of the fruits of hard work.

A little bit about the Parmigiano-Reggiano universe and a little bit about the miracle of mysteries and the mystery of miracles.     

A short adventure of two Brooklyn boys sometime in the Autumn of 1960. 

'Nuf said.

Back we go to Calcutta (Kalkuta) 1757 and listen how the British elite who colonized that great ancient city for almost 150 years figured out, however slowly, to modify the rules of their beloved game of golf to co-exist with the monkey population which was there for untold millennia before the British East India Company ever set up their first trading post.

More importantly, dear fellow Mid-Centurians, what does this all mean to us as we navigate our unique life journey?

Thanks!  Next episode will drop on Monday.

Late September 1956- the intersection points of the 1st interactive electronic entertainment program, early TV advertising, the Bronx Bombers dynasty, sibling trickery, WWII, The Vietnam War and the love of a family for itself.

Worth a listen- thank you.

Back once more we go to Aug 1967- The Hamptons.   The Square Wheels have a very special long weekend gig at a 1920s vintage oil baron's aging waterfront mansion estate.

Listen as the adventures of The Square Wheels at The Mansion unfold.   Can you dance in mid-air? Will you survive the imbibe of The Swamp Juice?

This Full Wolf Moon takes my brain howling back to a magical joyful Aug 1967 near old Hampton Bay NY and a night when the music, the ocean, the times and the place bent the universe their way. 

And I was there.   

Enjoy and come back for Part 2 which will drop sometime on Friday.

Long before Club 54 and its limousine-crowd night club hoopla, The Cheetah Club was the common peoples' glitzy discotheque (and boy, was I, and am I still a common person!)

This episode recollects a unique night when I was running solo through the city I grew up in and what went down that night of April 11,1967 at The Cheetah Club and the stage event entitled "An Imperial Happening".

Enjoy!  I did......  Please like, follow, subscribe, comment, download, share ....Next episode will drop on Monday 1/13/25.

Ah, to go back once more to my 17-year-old body and dance the night away at The Cheetah Club.......As the Beach Boys sang: "Wouldn't it be nice?!"

A WW2 vintage shoe shining kit, Lefty's Tavern, a big black car and a hand in a trunk and a good mother's simple wisdom.

The eternal pursuit of romantic experiences, the Avon Lady, a girl named Angela, my Mom, a movie theater and how I messed it all up!
