In 1973 I saw the Federico Fellini film Amarcord and it was the most amazing thing I had ever seen up till then. It had so many wonderful characters and they were all so immersed in life, love, and adventure that it made me long for such experiences in my own life. Now these many years later I realized that I had experienced all those things myself and it only took a yellow paint chip to open that door to my past and all the memories came flooding back. It wasn't until many years later that I found out that Amarcord means "I remember" and it seems so appropriate that the stories in this book began in 1973. I surprise myself sometimes of what I can remember especially if I have a memory trigger that lights it up. As I write these stories I get to relive each and every adventure along with every emotion both good and bad. Yes this book is all about nostalgia but I kept it unvarnished just telling the stories about all the people I met in New York City during the time comedy exploded in clubs like the Improv and Catch a Rising Star. It was an amazing adventure and a wonderful time to be alive
