I must be living right! This afternoon I had a lovely business lunch with my mananger and a venerable producer (on his dime) at the Polo Lounge in The Beverly Hills Hotel. I had barely returned from it (with a pit stop at Amoeba), then I got a phone call from BK inviting me to dinner with him, Ms. Minoff, and Ms. Hansen at Musso & Frank's. Given my ample and recent lunch, I alas had to decline. A few hours later, Harlan Ellison and his lovely wife, Susan, invited The Lovely Wife and me to a spur-of-the-moment dinner. Alas again, The Lovely Wife was not home from her business day and I was happily ensconced with the pets in lounging clothes, so I again declined.
Happy successful conclusion to your and Mr. Haines' recording sessions, BK! Sorry to hear about your negative Musso's experience...I hope this does not bode ill, coming so hard on the heels of the decline of your short-lived, but once beloved Schwab's. There's always the Cat & The Fiddle and Du-par's! And The Smokehouse!
