Larry looked after a few duties at the hospital, such as garbage detail, checking on the boiler room (daily) and other responsibilities, in exchange for the room. Larry had a bunch of songs he had written and a couple of us would go to listen to him play the guitar and sing. We always requested songs like Johnny Horton’s “Sink the Bismarck”, for example, which he knew all the words to: He usually entertained us for a couple of hours, with both his original and popular songs that were on the charts, back in 1960.
