His life was a party filled with music, women and more than a few pints of Guinness. This memoir also remembers his nightly encounters with other soon to be famous writers, actors and musicians on the Greenwich Village scene - among them bob Dylan, Robert Redford, Walther Matthau, Lenny Bruce, Maya Angelou, Pete Seeger and Barbra Streisand.
