ooops...not Hatford, but Hartford...and Bobert, at the time he was introduced to me as 'John'...but then, he wasn't using a stage name, at the time. My father introduced us, and you might have guessed it, it was at night, while he,(John) was working, sitting on a stool, inside the front door, where the old 'Sea Lion' restaurant used to be. It is no longer there, and the last I knew of, was replaced by yet, another restaurant, named, 'Dukes'.
