RIP to my former boss and friend Lloyd Sittser, the owner of Cassidy's West Coast Exchange. I shall miss him and remember him fondly. I worked for him for 15 of the 20 years his place was open. He was a self-educated, creative bar architect and owner. He put up with my crazy approach to DJing and loved hanging with his best pals playing 3 dice Chicago.
He also was fearless in assisting his doormen es**rt roudy bar
patrons OUT of the place! Some of his favorite sayings:
"There was a time..."
"Hey Muchacha!"
"Listen Fu !
His favorite songs:
Against the Wind' ...Take it to the Limit...Zorba the Greek ... The
Devil Went Down to Georgia... Rock Around The Clock and New World Symphony by Earth Wind and Fire.
AND his favorite Bard quote:
