Sorry Mike, but I recall going out with my folks in 1944 in San 
Francisco to a place that had pizza -- something new to most of us. 
Spike was playing the Golden Gate Theater and it was around the holidays 
so we were all there together. A movie and shorts between the Slickers' 
sets gave us time to go and it was my first taste of Pizza...ten years 
earlier than your note states. I didn't like it at first, but wised up 
in time.
The best pizza at a gig though was the Shakey's we got at Sacramento 
with the freebie tickets we players got. It was beer or pizza -- but the 
clainet player didn't drink so I got his spares.
