Hi, Larry:

One memorable night, I played at the Fat Black Pussy Cat in Greenwich Village. If you did a set, they gave you a hamburger and fries. Sing for your supper. Two other guys stopped in and we each did a set. Richie Havens was accompanying himself on bongo drums and did his enterpretation of an English folk song on bongos. Tiny Tim did his Shtick, and I tried desperately to sound like a worn out 78 of some old toothless guy from Appalachia, which was kinda hard, because I was in my twenties and shiny as a new penny.
