Tales of a Catskill Mountain Plumber is a humorous telling of the great times the baby boomer generation had growing up in The Country. This was the period of Jewish exodus from city heat to country coolair. Ruby the Knish Man, the Hippie Rabbi, Louie Slamowitz, and Benny and the Schleps are some of the interesting characters youll meet in the book. Included are stories about Jewish Lightning, a rare Catskill phenomenon, Mendels 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. Youll read about this in tales such as One Strange Collection and Come Closer, Closer Still. 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 bands 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 Ill be sharing with you. Consider these an extra bonus that will make your life just a little easier. Youll wish you had these years ago. How We Got Here speaks of my familys coming to the Land of Milk and Honey, and A New Beginning spells out the future of the Catskills. If youre a health nut, dont 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. Its finally time to eat, so wash your hands and come to the table. Remember, you dont have to eat it all at once, but make sure if you do that the plumbing works! Enjoy 'kinderla' enjoy!
