Recently took a trip to Hunter, NY. I give a bit of a review. Also I discuss the passing of a former colleague, Jeff Levine. 

Well it's early on Monday morning and I decided just to record some memories of Long Island. What I would like to do is when we have guests I would like to ask them their fondest memories growing up on Long Island. So as we go along, hopefully this podcast will morph into more of an interview show. As for now, these are just some rambling thoughts and memories. 

Join me John Bailey as I bring you Long Island Legends and New York Stories every week. On this podcast we will have the people that have made Long Island and NY State great…even the one’s who escaped to Florida.
