You couldn't have had a finer teacher... I was always lucky enough to listen... I used to see people rush in, and I'd watch Mac, he'd size them up pretty quick, but, to his credit, he'd always try to steer them right.. if they didn't listen, he'd get quiet, let them pick out what they wanted, and send them on their way.. the lucky ones, or the smart ones, let him advise them, sometimes without much talk... he'd ask what they were fishing for.. sometimes he might mention something, or sometimes just put something on the counter, maybe offer a little technique.. the longer you stayed, the more you learned.... I almost expect to see him sitting in one of the "dump" chairs in the back, and miss seeing old Fran Higgins sleeping back there too, and old Frank...
If any of them took a shine to you... you hade it made...
And.... did you ever see a more impressive turnout at his funeral... SRO, and outside too..... room full of legends, and some fortunate googans, like me.
so..... back on topic.....
