Boy O'boy (2015)
“Lots of Horseball Laflamme’s family are snoring through the wall. Mr. Laflamme is coughing.
It’s quiet next door at Mrs. Sawyer’s. You never hear anything from there. Before Buz went to fly planes in the war there used to be lots of noise from there. Mr. Sawyer always had lots of visitors over and there’d be singing and laughing. And Mr. Sawyer had an accordion and sometimes he’d play it and you’d hear people dancing.
But then he got sick and died in the hospital.
And Buz always had... lots of friends coming over to visit him. Buz was friends with everybody. Even us kids. He’d make lemonade sometimes and we’d all play cards and he’d turn up the radio really loud when there was music on like Don Messer’s Islanders or Swing and Sway with Sammy Kaye.
And once Buz took Billy and me and some other kids up to Lindsay’s record store on Sparks Street and we played on records in the little booths there where you could pretend you were going to buy one of the records until they kicked you out.MoreLess
