Loved this, Joe. Would love to re-read some of your Saloon articles. Publish one or two here if you can. Haven't been to a neighborhood bar in ages. I forgot what they were all about.
I just took a photo of that first piece--I have the bound volume for 1980, as that was the year I began working at the American Spectator as an intern. If I'm not mistaken, the May issue was in production when I started my job. Unfortunately, I don't think there's any way to upload a photo in a Substack comment.

Like a voice from a cloud, as Truman Capote once put it. Or really, like a goddamned garage sale, according to Tom. And after many false starts!
