"Rollicking fun stories and poems about growing up and being a bartender in the DC club scene." Jack Scarry, The Irish Times. Raymond Martin`s first book, The Trouble with Bartenders, contains 58 narrative poems and stories about bars, nightclubs and hotels. These poems and stories offers a commentary on the late-night characters who you will find on both sides of the bar. Most of the stories were written as they happened and just recently edited and assembled for this collection. The second story is of his first bartending experience which happened when he was twelve. His formal introduction to bar life came quite by accident after his brother threw a beer mug at the owner of Mr. Henry`s Tenley Circle. There are a series of poems and stories written while working at punk, new-wave venues like the 9:30 Club`s back bar. It is impossible not to write about the sexual hunger that seems to emerge after people start drinking. Too often people get sexy then they get stupid. He also wrote about his weakness with the bottle which landed him in Albuquerque NM where he worked at the once infamous El Rey Bar. The stories speak of what is found and lost in an environment where sex, drugs, and rock and roll mix with alcohol and the crazy things people do after they have drunk more than they should. The stories evolve with age and with that changing perspective of maturity.
