door people

An important job that always seems to be ignored is working the door. Gerry was the first door person I remember. He was so funny and we worked together when I stamped hands. He was actually the first person I met who had a sarcastic sense of humor. The door people, like the Dee-jays, used to keep themselves separated from the bar staff. The only time people spoke to the door person was to get friends in for free. David Ryan, who used to perform as Doe reen and Trixie were other door people. There was School Teacher Bob, Therese and Dee was favorites. Ray is the head honcho today. He works most of the nights now.
The door people are expected to be jack of all trades. They have to stamp hands, give change, give tickets, answer phone and all the time they are locked in that little 2x4 cubicle. They are the unsung heroes at the bar.
Till tomorrow, be kind
