About Bill OConnor
Years ago, when I was just a young guy tending bar in New York City, I befriended the author Kurt Vonnegut. During a night of riotous drinking, he introduced me to the artist Nicademis Hufford.

As a passing suggestion, I boldly suggested that the "back bar" might just "jump" with a 40-foot mural of America's jazz greats. He just said "hhmmmnn." And don't you know......
