There were some other people at the bar, and a few who had come in with him were applauding, shouting out requests, and one girl was even taking pictures of him.
I didn't think anything of it at first, but this was about 4 pm, which seemed pretty early to have live music going, so I asked the bartender why they had him there so early.
It turns out the guy wasn't hired by the bar. He had literally just walked in off the street and started playing his guitar and performing.
The bartender asked me, “Is that wrong?” suddenly realizing that this was an unusual occurrence. (That's a real quote there, by the way, folks. I don't make these things up).
Now, perhaps this is the time to mention that the bartender was the ever-innocent Littlest K, one of the infamous K Sisters. She had scored a bartending job at this

Anyway, the manager wasn't there, and Little K was in charge.
Or not.
But this troubadour, whoever he was, had fun, I guess.
At another point, the Littlest K was talking to us, and a customer at the end of the bar caught her eye and signaled for a drink, and, I swear, she looked at him all puzzled, and then suddenly realized - oh yeah, she was actually there behind the bar, and was supposed to, you know, serve people drinks.

Let's just say, it might be a while before she is juggling liquor bottles around like Tom Cruise did in “Cocktail.”
(Although I wouldn't mind seeing her make out with someone who looked like Elizabeth Shue. But my luck is never that good.)
