Grover Paul Eichlin entertains in the Casino. 2016

Paul Eichlin in the Casino . He has a cigarette dangling from his lips as if he made his bones in some speakeasy on Bourbon Street. Paul Goldfinger photo July, 2016.
We (Blogfinger.net) wrote about Paul last year when Bob Bowné photographed him on Ocean Avenue in the Grove with his 1961 Thunderbird (see link below).
But Paul is really famous because he plays an electric organ in the Casino, featuring old merry-go-round style music. It is such a delicious throwback to another era, and Paul just goes on and on, rarely missing a beat. He nods happily when someone tosses some dough into his plastic pail. He seems to be there all the time, as if that is all he does. Stop by and say hello to a fellow Grover.

Nagle’s is scheduled to reopen in April 2026. The new owner is a restaurateur . We expect that Nagle’s will return embellished with fond memories and plans for a glorious eatery. And let there be live music! We do need that in the Grove.

Beachfront Sunrise. By Paul Goldfinger. Ocean Grove. Blogfinger.net ©
Hi Paul:
Greetings from Manhattan. I was struck by your quietly beautiful photo, “Beachfront Sunrise,” (posted recently on Blogfinger), and your statement that you preferred sunrises to sunsets because “beginnings are happier than endings.”
Here is the poem, “Dawn,” from my 2008 collection, Father of Water.
Best wishes,
Charles Pierre
Dawn
By Charles Pierre
The first hint of morning on the ocean
is a trembling of shadows,
a dark hovering of muted tones
that moves with imperceptible pace,
a vanishing medium through which
the day brightens and widens,
the new light going on for miles and miles
in the shine of emerging surf.
BILL FRISELL. “Across the Universe.”
