Lamplights for Sam Singer / Patrick W. Hopkins

My first memory of Sam was in a bar,
One I happened to work at at the time;
He seemed to be happy with his bass guitar,
Drinking his beer and playing 'til closing time.
Other people's first meeting with Sam
Might have been like this, or after a fashion;
As long as he was playing, he was happy as a clam,
But he played with an unmatched cosmic passion.

Was that a Leather Bar? And was Tom Keske your date?

No, I think it was the original Uptown Tap in downtown Columbus... I'd have
to ask Patrick to be exact, though.

I don't really know Tom Keske except from his posts here.
