Charlie's Corner in Secaucus

This is a Dive bar, cash only. Everyone was super friendly.

Good times! I met Charlie for the first time ! Nice old man!

CHARLIE'S CORNER                  By cleo 1980 Dancing in a honky tonk bar Harry Crash, Three Finger Whiskey Band  tearing up Charlie's Corner. Harry Crash is a marrying man. He romances naive young ladies  makes them forever his. When baby arrives  Harry packs his guitar  and heads for the bar. Last count, Harry was on  wife number 5. Glen smoking, drinking his Bud,  caught my eye, dying to tell me his story again. "Yeah, I'm lucky to be here tonight.  I stuck a rifle in my mouth,  pulled the trigger with my toe  the trigger jammed."    "Yes, Glen I know." Charlie winked, motioned me to follow him  down wooden stairs,  ceiling to floor gray metal door,  blast of icy air  shocked our bodies as we walked in. An 8 foot shark, cut in 2. "Sweet Darlin', I gotta shark tooth for you." Billy sits with back to the wall  not too long ago  his 6' frame weighed 102. The Dr. said," Billy if you don't stop  drinking you'll be dead." Two months in a Texas rehab  Billy drinks Coke instead.            Women of the red neck men  listen to Harry sing Willie Nelson tunes,  eyeball me dancing on stage  wearing cowboy boots rhinestone studded blue body suit,  remembering the time  their bodies young and prime. A fat lady said," I use ta be a dancer,  when you stop dancin' you gonna  get fat like me!" Yearly, calendar nailed to the wall  witnessed 72 sheets, in 6 years fall. 3:am home, counting tips  thinking this is too long a trip. I don't want to be at Charlie's  when Harry marries for the 6th time. When Billy's teeth fall out of his head  from drinking Coke instead. When Glen tells his story  for the 300th time,  a drunk pulls out a gun  and shoots him dead. It's true I'm overdue to hang up my dancing shoes.
