he told a story of his father working as an upholster in the catskills when buddy was a kid. it seems the owner of the hotel wouldn't pay his father the ten bucks he owed him for a job and there was nothing his father could do about it.
years later when buddy was working the catskills at $10,000. a night, he was booked at the same hotel his father had done the upholstery and buddy demanded, and got, $10,010. when he saw his dad, he said here's the ten bucks they owe you.
that put a lump in my throat.
i have his "chinese waiter" bit, if you want a tape of it.
