I was friends with Brian in high school we use to ride mopeds together. We went to the y downtown and bowled and listened to Beatles music. We ate hamburgers there too and fixed them in a old microwave. He could play the piano for me and could play any songs I said . We use to drive Bill’s 56 Chevrolet to the y.
