sandwich and a few drinks and run interference for your girl on the dance floor the piano in there every night from eight until the place closed up which usually meant for the morning a good job as jobs went on sta it was still made working there a little like working in heaven but how we felt about each other well there was nothing very unusual in that i was an ordinary healthy guy and she was
