We had arranged to have lunch at Dixie's and then go to the matinee of Billy's review of songs, Make Me A Song. This was the last day of the show. Billy surprised us at the end of the show. We thought he was still in Pittsfield. he had called us at home earlier, but we had already left for NYC. After the show the three of us went out for some food and drink at Uncle Nick's Greek Restaurant on 9th Avenue. We drove back to Dixie's and got our car and drove home. We got caught in the snow on the way home, but it only took us a half hour longer to get home.`; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]>
