Fred,

I actually mentioned Frank Music at length twice in posts in the
last week...didn't get all the way through them? ;-P I mentioned
that they were in the same building as D'addario, and gave
background on the music store there.

And Ralph's *IS* very good...have eaten there many a time!

Ray and Ray-Bari? That's not pizza <evilgrin>! Patsy's is my
favorite, bar none, with John's being a close second!
