"Kovacs Bar-Delray"

 

I've got wonderful memories of this place. It's was a Gypsy bar located in southwest Detroit, or Delray. Everything in the place was priced at $1! Beer,, burgers, fries, shots. And they had this great Gypsy trio playing. a standup bass, violin, and a cymbelum. The violinist and bass player would go from table to table, serenading the patrons. What a great place. I think it's long gone. I did this painting from an old, blurry snapshot I found on an on-line document that tells the whole history of Kovacs.
