Cranbrook. It always blows my mind to read about Cranbrook. I'm pretty sure that's where I used to tag along when my brother practiced w/ the Crusty Nostrils. Tom Mc and Thom Mc? Both tenors, one w/ a wooden leg?
Then later, like mid `80's, a buddy of mine was on the maint staff. Craziest mfin super you ever dreamt of. Ernie Gallo was his name. Got permission from his boss if he could mount a tv in the wall between rooms. Never bothered to mention that it was a support wall. Just got a jackhammer and proceeded w/ the plan. Constantly plotting some practical joke on a friend or stranger and dreaming of comic stardome. He's one of the voices of Treasure Island at Paramount these days.
And I have to wonder if, all the time were were hanging out in Ernie's apt, pranking the poor Dominos guy and such, if you guys were writing MIs in another building... or was it not Cranbrook, but one of the other nearly identical compounds?
God, I am SO glad to be out of Florida!
