But I don’t think many of you ageist trolls here will understand that. A kind old man, that I look with an awe and respect. Every time I see Eddie, I think of the many years he has lived as a gay man and how difficult it must have been in these times for men like him. And last, but not least, on Saturday nights, there is an elderly gentleman standing at the piano and singing a few old-fashioned tunes.
Many years ago, at the height of the “Les Mis” fever, he did a Carpenters’ take on “Bring Him Home”, which I will not forget till my final resting moment. Rick is without a shadow of a doubt, the greatest piano player /entertainer I have ever seen. The bartenders are attitude free, very friendly and some quite funny (especially Eli, whose stories of Aretha, Tallulah and Bette are simply priceless). A great laidback place to enjoy company of men, who do not act like the ultimate God’s gift to humanity. Had many interesting conversations there, made some wonderful friends as well. I’m 54 now and have been going on and off to the Townhouse Bar for over 25 years. just as long as you don’t expect any flowers on your early grave from me. Why there is so much hate toward the elderly gay men here? Do you really think you will never be one? Well, that’s OK.
