Brought back many memories, February 15, 2007

As I read through this wonderful little piece of life, it invoked so many special memories. You find yourself sitting at the bar taking it all in first hand. "Eye-dee, dye-dee, Christ Almighty..." I loved it!

Mary Ellen Preece:  I started out reading this Amazon Short due to the title "The Old School Yell" never dreaming it would take me to where it did. The story was about a man named Eddie who entered a bar that the author frequented and how he started out as a moocher but became a fixture there at Nick's place, especially near the Jukebox where one of his favorite singers was Vaughn Monroe.
The author heard so many stories from Eddie about growing up in Ohio, and being a reporter he always checked his sources so he always looked up details Eddie told and always found them to be true. The stories are so interesting and reveal a great deal about Eddie and the life he had led. Without giving away the end I will conclude with a must read suggestion to each and every one reading this.
