25th July 1991 Day 5

The diary entry "Early morning train to Albany just to avoid having to wait at Buffalo until 4 in the morning to catch the train to Cleveland. 

Listened to a little old lady in the tourist info centre wittering on about the Royal Family and the "old" buildings in Albany. Had a good time in the Museum of New York and then shared a humongous pizza. Then it was time to rock out with Gary US Bonds at a free concert. Phew rock n roll. 

Late night train to Cleveland and a very interesting chat with a physics teacher called Ken. Not the most relaxing way to travel."

2011 - Gary US Bonds is in his 70s and still going. Playing Albany again in October. I can't name a single song he's done. 


I remember the little old lady and I'm sure Oz trumped her 200 year buildings by remarking that his village in The Cotswolds has houses that are 1000 years old. I don't remember the pizza.


It must be pointed out that our odd itinerary had a lot to do with the fact that we had an Amtrak rail pass and we were at the mercy of the sparse Amtrak routes and odd timetables.
