Let’s start from the beginning. When I first started with Elite and Eric Taylor way back in 1993 he had an account set up at The Old Mill Inn in Spring Lake. Besides their recommendations we also provided music once a month for a social gathering they called Network Night. Eric and I rotated Network Night’s for a while and then I took them over exclusively. Playing at The Old Mill Inn so regularly I got to know the owner, a truly classy guy named, Joe Amiel. He’d usually come over to me early in the night and we’d chat about things: business, personal etc. And I was always so impressed by the stained glass window in the bar at The Old Mill Inn which welcomed everyone to Joe’s New York Cafe at The Old Mill Inn. It was an impressive piece of art.
