Having a bite to eat at what used to be Enrico's in North Beach. Mal used to play here with his band and I'd come to check him out, and sometimes sit in on a tune. We still miss ya buddy!

I hired Mal to do "man on the street" commercials for a client of mine at Bozel & Jacob´s Advertising back in the seventies. Mail did an outstanding job and everyone loved him. RIP, dear fellow.

I’m at home in St Louis and was listening to Eddie Condon Dixieland records when I thought about Mal. I hadn’t talked to him in a long time. I’ll call him tomorrow, I thought. I googled him and was so saddened to see his obit. The music is still playing, the commercials he did for me when I was with the agency are on a cassette tape, and his laugh and voice still ring in my ears. Sondra, Jennifer, my thoughts are with you even though I’m a year late on checking on my friend Mal.
