Subject: RE: What does blow the man down mean?
Hi Theresa,

The pleasure was mine, thank you. Hearing/singing/meeting you was quite the thrill for me.

Micky Finn was born & raised in Boston. He's my father though I don't think he was old enough be the same Micky talked about here. He did tell me that in order to get him to behave properly, his parents would threaten him by telling him they were gonna put him on one of those windjammers that come into the harbor. He kept up with his rowdy behavior & used to go down to the docks hoping that he'd get shipped out.

Micky Finn's was also a large ('Army & Navy'type) chain of stores in this area, don't know if they were big any where else. Now that I've
carried this thread creep to far, sorry, I was just taken the Micky out of me.

Barry
