Have a piece for me, will ya? Pepperoni and mushroom; my favorite.
I love old-fashioned juke boxes. The last time I saw one, it kept playing the same song over and over, and I thought it was fixed that way. Maybe the restaurant had hit upon the perfect way to get patrons to leave quickly!

I agree. Keep the jukeboxes! Keep the drive in theaters! Keep the drive in burger joints!

I LOVE jukeboxes. Background music is indeed important. We quit going to a favorite Indian restaurant for a few months because instead of playing traditional Indian music (probably piped it, but still Indian..) they played classic rock.
They must have figured it out, because they are back to their Indian music.

Somebody out here cares very deeply. The only thing I'll tolerate canned in a pizza parlor is anchovies.
Ah, Indian music!! I shall visit this Mrs. T.

I haven't been to the Cafe Pizzeria in at least ten years. They took out the jukebox? Sad.
I take it you're not going to Nick's too?

Pizza's good. I'd rather have no music in a restaurant unless very quiet and discrete and related to the food -- maybe Hindi music at an Indian buffet. If it's a 50s kitsch place and the soundtrack fits, I can mentally screen it out,

That's my hubby's favorite pizza too. Every time we go to B'ton we must have one with sausage and pep. I think it's okay, but I'm from New Jersey so the pizza I grew up on is actually Italian. teehee

I think you could drop off the hubby and go somewhere that doesn't have ANY music. You don't HAVE to eat together, not at that "price".

Besides, the canned radio music is almost always Oldies. I get enough of that just by looking in the mirror.
Unfortunately, "Oldies" can mean a playlist of (1) "DOPE IS GROOVY!" and/or (2) "GET OUT OF VIETNAAAAM!" My job set its PA system to an "Oldies" station of that kind a couple years ago. We had a mutiny within a week.
I am old enough to remember 1960s music (though my favorite decade is the Eighties), and remember it as a time of extreme variety and experimentation, from the sublime to the silly. It was NOT the Sixties (TM) music you hear on the Oldies stations today. There was a lot more being sung about in that decade than Dope and Vietnam.

You stayed in Bloomington? That must be great!
After 30 years in rural Florida, we are moving to Gainesville. There are some great similarities and some great differences.
I can't believe we never took the kids (those UF grads)for a walk through the campus.
