11. Let 'em Fish!
This
took place in a bar in Ajo, Arizona I think. We on our
way home from Puerto Peñasco and my parents likely
didn't care to wait to get back to Tempe before they
could have a beer or two.
There
was an old man in there in a sentimental state of mind
talking about my brothers and me. He was giving my
parents ideas of what to do for us to have fun. My dad
mentioned that we had just come back from Minnesota
where we had done a lot of fishing.
This
struck a note with the old guy.
"Oh,
let 'em fish! Let 'em fish!" he said passionately.
I
guess I hadn't had enough experience with this
roadhouse elocution to recognize it because after we
left, I asked my mom, "Didn't you think that guy was a
little crazy?"
"Oh,
no, no," she said. "He was just an old man missing his
kids and wishing he were young again."
11. ¡Permítanles pescar! y otras memorias
Como mis memorias de Missouri y saltamontes, estos
recuerdos son una parte de mí y no encontraré paz
antes de que las ponga sobre el papel.
¡Permítanles
pescar! Esto
tuvo lugar en un bar en Ajo, Arizona yo creo. Estábamos regresando
de Puerto Peñasco, México y mis padres probablemente
no querían esperar a llegar a Tempe antes de que
pudieran tomar un par de cervezas.
Había un anciano dentro en
un estado sentimental hablando sobre mis hermanos y
yo. Les ofrecía a mis padres ideas de cosas
divertidas que podían hacer con nosotros. Mi padre
mencionó que acabábamos de regresar de Minnesota
donde habíamos ido a pescar muchas veces.
—Oh, ¡permítanles pescar!
¡Permítanles pescar! —dijo con pasión.
Creo que yo no había
tenido experiencia suficiente para reconocer esta
clase de elocución de taberna porque al salir,
pregunté a mi madre:
—¿No crees que ese tipo
estaba un poco loco?
—Oh, no, no —dijo—. Nada
más era un hombre viejo echando de menos a sus niños
y queriendo ser joven otra vez.

Anywhere Went to see Ron Rutowski in
Scottsday with Rio Trio but he wasn't
playing. He doesn't play on Sunday. It was
a 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM gig at The Blind Pig.
I sat at the bar and when I turned I
didn't see Ron. The guy next to me told me
that he was replaced on Sundays by a
guitar player. Oh, but they were really
good. The guitar player was excellent. The
guy at the bar with me was 71 and the ex
prosecutor for Ajo, Arizona. Kind of a
disaster. The web page mentioned the
guitarist's name but it didn't say Ron
wouldn't be there.
