During the time I knew him, his friends were the people with whom he fraternized in the bar. Some of them were regulars who he'd known for more than 15-20 years -- Bobby, Breezy, Joey Daniels, Patty G, Danny, Leslie, etc.; they were his closest friends (among many) -- and others were people who came in one night, like Ayelet and Seamus, knocked back a few shots with him, and never saw him again.

He had met a number of celebrities, and even counted Lou Reed (Velvet Underground) among his closest friends, but told me the only time he was truly starstruck was the time his uncle (Fred Plaut, a Grammy Award-winning sound engineer) brought him to work and he got to meet Duke Ellington in the building's lobby.
