I went to the Sheriff Uncle Bob Jam with Dave Leiberman my singer. I went with his godchild, she said she remembers him smelling of wisky and tobacco, and being old really old. Things are still the same except that hes just older now.
The jam is at the Grisly Pear next to trendy NYU bar Off The Wagon, that bar sucks and I laughed at all the douchebags as I left
