I was in the house band at Eddie Condon's in the early 80s, did some off B'way, clubdates, etc. Played a lot at Gregory's with Joe Puma, and at Jimmy Weston's with Tommy Furtado. Spent some crazy time with Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks ("Alive and Lickin'"). Also played in Don Byron's Klezmer Orchestra, did some touring with him. I also play pedal steel guitar.

Jimmy Weston's with Tommy Furtado? I played there with him as well. Arnie Wise was the drummer. John Guilino had the gig and I subbed for him there several times over the years. I met Andre the Giant there one night on the break.
