Gay bar in new paltz

For as long as I can remember, New Paltz, NY, has always been much more than just a college party town or just a great place to grab a meal. For me, it's always been a place where many start their life's journey and form friendships that last a lifetime. Almost 30 years ago, as I was beginning my radio career at a radio station in Kingston, I found myself looking to try and find a place where I could DJ to make some extra cash.

At the time, radio wasn't paying the best hasn't changed LOL and after going out a few times in New Paltz, me and a close friend at the time, Chris, decided maybe we should try and get a job DJing at one of the bars in New Paltz. We decided that Foley's later Murphy's on Main Street was the place we wanted to work, and after a little convincing and a few auditions, the family who owned the bar hired us.

The Verney family had owned the bar for a while, and as I began to work more and more for them, I realized that this was going to become much more than just a place I worked at.

I've DJed many of their weddings and special events, watched them bring kids into the world, and paltz I'm hoping I can do my part and help them in any way possible as they deal with some unfortunate health news. I learned a few weeks ago, after seeing a post on Facebook, that Kenny Verney, who ran Foley's and later Murphy's for many years, had been diagnosed with cancer.

Kenny's wife Karen posted. February 5th we found out that Kenny has metastatic lung cancer. Within days with the help of some fantastic people we were down at NYU with a team of doctors in which we are very happy with. It will be gay long road but he is strong and will continue to fight every day, he bar no choice we love him too much.

After reading it, I reached out to see if there was anything I could do to help, and Karen told me that just reaching out was more than enough. I later learned that friends of the Verney family had already put together a fundraiser for Kenny in May and that it was open to the community. The event will run from 6 to 9 p. Please join me in spreading the word about this event and helping raise as much money as possible for one new the good ones!
