I mixed things up a little and went to Fratello’s Pizzeria in Frankfort for music and food tonight instead of Wednesday (of course I could still go on Wednesday; no promises there). Tom Maneen was playing acoustic guitar. I have only heard him once before. He is excellent!
I enjoyed his tunes a lot!
I sat at the bar as usual. Kayla, the bartender, took good care of me. I had Buffalo Chicken Salad with Mozarella Garlic Bread. Yum! Full disclosure: I mostly ordered the salad so I could bring leftovers for my lunch tomorrow.
A couple sat down next to me. They were very friendly. First they asked if the seats were taken. They were not. I said they could certainly sit down.
“We’ll be your new acquaintances,” said Michael, as I later found out was his name. His wife was Alysha. Michael decided to order a bucket of Utica Club, because it would be more economical, even if he didn’t drink one.
“You might as well,” I said. “It’s on your bucket list.” He appreciated that. We chatted quite a bit. Alysha tried a piece of my garlic bread. Michael gave me a Utica Club from his bucket. Eventually I asked if I could take a picture for my blog post. They graciously agreed.
Nice folks.
I had a really nice time. It was a pleasant start to my week.
OK, one more picture of Tom.
