I met Craig Russell in the subway one night.
He was on his way to his hit show at the Royal York.
Here he was in the subway entertaining about 6 people.
He was sitting beside a wino and a small group had gathered around him and he had them in stitches. I stood and watched for awhile and when I got an opening I held out my hand. "Hi Craig I always wanted to meet you. I am a friend of your friend Sandy's." " oh Sandy, How is she? he pushed against the wino slightly to make room for me to sit down.
We talked about Sandy for a couple of minutes and suddenly he stopped ans sniffed loudly, still sniffing he asked
"What is that horrible smell?" he gasped.
"I am afraid it is your friend," I said nodding to the wino.
"Shit!" he said, "there goes the promise I made to myself to fuck anybody that asked me."
