Tales of a Catskill Mountain Plumber

Tales of a Catskill Mountain Plumber

Tales of a Catskill Mountain Plumber is a humorous telling of the great times the baby boomer generation had growing up in â€œThe Countryâ€. This was the period of Jewish exodus from city heat to country cool-air. Ruby the Knish Man, the Hippie Rabbi, Louie Slamowitz, and Benny and the Schleps are some of the interesting characters youâ€™ll meet in the book. Included are stories about Jewish Lightning, a rare Catskill phenomenon, Mendelâ€™s Mansion, and of course the Woodstock Festival. My family worked hard in many bungalow colonies getting the water moving again after the long cold winters. One thing we always made a point of was to laugh at it all which helped us get through those exhausting times. Youâ€™ll read about this in tales such as â€œOne Strange Collectionâ€ and â€œCome Closer, Closer Stillâ€. At night, I donned my rock and roll persona and performed with my band in some of the major hotels like The Pines, Kutchers, The Concord, and colonies such as Clearview Country Club and Fiakloffs. The bandâ€™s adventures led us to psychedelic displays, and for some the discovery of chopped liver. The book contains a plumbers instruction manual that will guide you through the glory days of the Borscht belt, but in no way will it help you to become a plumber. Also included is an easy to read schematic that translates the Yiddish words helping you to get the full essence of the stories. Throughout the book are some special tips that Iâ€™ll be sharing with you. Consider these an extra bonus that will make your life just a little easier. Youâ€™ll wish you had these years ago. â€œHow We Got Hereâ€ speaks of my familyâ€™s coming to the Land of Milk and Honey, and â€œA New Beginningâ€ spells out the future of the Catskills. If youâ€™re a health nut, donâ€™t worry. Everything was written without artificial sweeteners, but to give it some extra flavor I added a little "gribines". (Use the schematic, remember)? The book did take about 13 years to complete, but just like a good "chulent" that cooks and cooks, getting better with time, so did the book. Itâ€™s finally time to eat, so wash your hands and come to the table. Remember, you donâ€™t have to eat it all at once, but make sure if you do that the plumbing works! Enjoy "kinderla" enjoy!
