Don, that is chipping at chads, he did know the business, his statements
related to not having kept up with the requirements to be a
"grunt" in "today's" world.

I tended bar, I pumped out the drinks at an amazing rate at that time
(which doesn't mean much in the overall craft of bartending - but is
necessary if it's a crowded 'Rock'n'Roll bar) and I "could" learn
the new drinks that have made their appearance on the scene since then, but
as a bar owner I'd have no reason to do that, but I damn well could tell if
the bartender could tend bar - of which, the actual mixing of drinks was a
minute part.
