Deep in the heart of Jersey

Too cool rock 'n' roll star David Bowie has a song about New Jersey's finest entertainer, Uncle Floyd, on his new album. The song "Slip Away" is also about Oogie and Bones Boy, and includes Floyd mentions prominently in the chorus. Bowie says John Lennon turned him on to the show back in the 1970s. Floyd is still around, showing up at Club Bene in Sayreville every so often, and doing a radio show of Italian tunes in northern NJ every weekend. In fact, Floyd mentioned Laura's father on the show a few weeks ago when we were up there visiting her parents.

Actually, There is no Club Bene anymore. It is called Krome now, and Uncle Floyd doesn't play there anymore. He does however perform every Sunday and Tuesday at the Holiday Inn bar in Wayne on Rt. 46. as well as VFW halls all across the state of NJ.

What do you mean there is no cat?

"You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat."

- Albert Einstein, explaining radio
