The only interaction i ever had with The Snake was in the mid 1990s when i was at the House of Blues in NOLA for their weekly Monday night SIN night - which i always thought was redundant- “Service Industry Night.. Night “ ?.. in any case, i was on the dance floor, plastered, and i look up to see Stabler leaning against one of the bannisters, drink in hand.. i was far more ‘overserved’ than he was, and of course , all i could think of to blurt out was ‘Holy s***, Kenny Stabler !’.. he would have been around 50 yrs old, maybe a little under 50- but seemed ancient .. i was early 20s, and i am guessing he experienced that reaction from people my age and older, somewhere in the vicinity of roughly 3 or 4 dozen times per day.. every day.. still it was a pretty neat moment that i am relaying here over a quarter-century later .
