A grill’s best friend

It’s July 19th and hot as hell in New York City.   Everyone is in the park with their little grills, bags of coal and coolers of beer.   I’m inside listening to “Music to Barbecue By” and dreaming of fat, juicy T-Bones and Porterhouse steaks, corn on the cob and baked potatoes.   This Lp was put out by Monitor Records and Adolph’s steak sauce and tenderizer “For your personal enjoyment all summer long”.
