I've stayed away from there, I always thought it was a gay bar. BTW, Vera was weird 30 years ago.

It was, sorta. The guy that played the piano and was her companion for years was supposedly gay and drew quite a crowd at the bar.

Just for the record, Vera's piano player and companion was George. He passed away.

On your drive to SLO, make sure you stop off at Pea Soup Andersen's in Buellton and say 'hi' to Hap-Pea and Pea-Wee.

George?

Reminds me of when Bugs Bunny would do his Liberace impression. He'd smooth back his ears and say "I wish my brother George was here."

book on Vera

Catt, she has a caretaker/attendant who's name is Kumar, an Indian(as in middle east), who has either finished or is ending up a book about her life history.
Speaking of which, this man was a history professor at a university south of New Delhi. We got talking at a Thanksgiving dinner party I went to last year, and he had a draft copy with him.

I carry the book in my bookstore in Leonardtown, but am currently sold out. Let me know if you are interested in a copy. It came out early this year.
