there is still a hot blonde bartender(ess) that works there. As for the place itself, I just discovered it because it only recently (to my knowledge) began hosting live music. But I love it -- it's the real deal as far as neighborhood dives go. Some crazy people hang out there.
As for the King Mixer guitarist, I'd say more of a hummingbird than a ghost... he just wouldn't stand still long enough to not be a blur.
