The original Rum Runners was in Oyster Bay. Home of the 'Bar in the Round'
Saw John "Dr Dirty" Valby there more times than I can recall.

Ah, I see. I left LI in '93 so I must have missed that one!

The Dublin Pub was host to quite a few bands in the 80's. What was that club on Hempstead Turnpike in Elmont that changed names a few times (didn't they all?).

Did anyone mention Sparks up around Huntington? What a dump, but we played there a few times.

I think I remember it being on 110 way back. Or am I thinking of another place? I'll have to dig up that issue of Island Ear that I still have.

Crap, now I'm missing that old LI music scene.
