Fratello’s Pizzeria in Frankfort, NY used to be a regular stop for me, but not so much lately. However, tonight, after attending the Frankfort Town Board Meeting to cover it for Sentinel Media, it was right on my way to stop as I drove home. I did not know if there would be music, but I thought I could use a little food. I decided if there was a parking space readily available, I would stop. There was! And there was music!
He is very talented.
Ryan Quinn was playing a James Taylor song as I walked in, “Fire and Rain.” It is kind of an emotional song for me, because of the line, “But I always thought that I’d see you again.” It makes me think of Steve, my late beloved husband. I’m not the only one. At the time of Steve’s passing, at least one friend referenced the song, talking about how hard Steve’s death hit him. But I don’t mean to bring everybody down. It is a beautiful song, and Ryan did a great job with it. However, I was happy when he went on to “Benny and the Jets.”
I ordered a mixed sub as a wrap and a glass of wine. It was delicious. I chatted up Tony, who was my favorite Wednesday bartender a few years ago. She was waitressing tonight. She still has the alpaca pen Steve and I got her at Paca Gardens. How fun is that?
No keyboard pictures tonight, but he did play it.
Before I left I danced my way into the room where Ryan was playing to take a picture and leave a tip. “Thank you,” he said, “for your interpretive dance and your tip.” I thanked him instead for the music.
