I took my steady, Patty, from Woodlawn in The Bronx to McClean Avenue in Yonkers by cab with a bunch of cash in pocket

We drank like pirates, bar hopped, danced together, shot some pool near a juke box and cabbed it home and had a good time;)

I have not seen sweet Irish Patricia in 20 years but this thread reminded me of herโ˜บ๏ธ

"Steady Patty?"

Anyway, sounds like you had a much better time than I did. I was out with a dingbat. (Long story.) Good on ya, mate!

Living on a Miltary Stores Depot / Military Accomodation complex that was in the process of being sold off. I can't be sure but that evening I may have been watching a repeat of the Total Balalaika Show on television. It was a concert performed by the Leningrad Cowboys and the Red Army Choir in 1994 and was shown every New Year's Eve.
