The phone rang and I heard the plaintive voice of my friend advising me that he was stuck in a telephone booth and could I come to help. Ordinarily one might think this was unusual but these were the sixties and sometimes (every time!) LSD had unusual effects. I never really discovered just what was outside the telephone booth and confining him within it as the only important thing was to determine which one so I could come to rescue him.
I can cheerfully report that the rescue was successful and I can now I say 'I knew him when he was getting trapped in telephone booths.' It is now quite a few years later and I can cheerfully report something altogether different:
November 23: Chordslinger and Lola will appear live at The Bitter End in Greenwich Village. When you get The Bitter End's site, click the Schedule tab and then look up November 23 for the evening's line-up. Hopefully you'll do it quickly as that date is this Friday!
Chordslinger is not his real name and I imagine it would have been a formidable prospect to get through school with a name like that. Perhaps not as formidable as being 'A Boy Named Sue' but a challenge nevertheless. If he wanted you to know his real name, I imagine he would tell you himself so I'll leave that to him.
My friend has been playing keyboards ever since the days of getting stuck in telephone booths but now he's doing it in New York City. Ain't that grand!
Break a leg and I hope it's one hell of a good time for both of you.

Yes, saved from the phone booth. I need to get to Greece so we can do that again.
That would work ... if I had a phone ... and if I had a car (laughs)
