have got you now
With those waves singing "Caroline"(Oh "Caroline, No")Rolling down that empty ocean roadGetting to the surf on time (N. Young)Bayridge is a community that i am very proud to be a member. I know there are many splendid hamlets in this nation and around the world, I know the heartlands of America are chock full of good people , but i will put 11209 up there with any of them.
This past Saturday was one of those days....not sure what the final headcount was at the Salty Dog but it was hard to find a name or two that were missing.
The Rohl family gave our friend Hari the sendoff that he deserved , the photos and sports memorabilia were a walk down a familiar lane , the toast was spot on and of course Mr. Mike Mclaughlin kicking it off with long May you run was heart stirring....i freely admit that i had a tear in my eye and chill on my spine, the harmonica was hauntingly perfect. It felt like the cocktail hour of a wedding, and all your friends were there, they just kept rolling in the big front door, i was dizzy Sunday morning thinking of all the people i hadn't seen in years, all gathered in one place for one reason....Bayridge may have lost a hall of famer but at least we didn't let him go without a fight.......God Speed Hari....Fare well and Following seas.
Long may you run, long may you runAlthough these changes have comeWith your chrome heart shining in the sunLong may you run

Why Bay Ridge was the best - the camaraderie!
