Thread Name: San Francisco ...'The Drinking Gourd' ?
Subject: RE: San Francisco ...'The Drinking Gourd' ?
I received an email from Stephanie Brandelius, daughter of Drinking Gourd bartender Pierre Brandelius. Please contact me (joe@mudcat.org) if you'd like to contact Stephanie.
Hi Joe, I just stumbled across your chat and found an entry from my Dad in 2016 (below). I am sorry to say he passed last year. I now have the albums, well, I gave them to my 29 year old who thinks they are cool (stuff always comes back!)
I would love to connect with anyone who has memories of my dad, sometimes called Pete (tall, deep voice, glasses, thinning hair, SF native.)
Best regards, Stephanie Brandelius

To: Tamara Steger. I was the bartender at The Gourd from opening to 1966 and knew Bob, Gloria, and Carl very well. Say hello to any of them still around. Don't remember Bob ever owing the place, but as is said "it was the sixties." Still have the record the kids recorded on.
