[Dixielandjazz] How fleeting is fame, alas!

[G. William Oakley]

Hi  All:
Below is an interesting bit of an email from an old friend in San Francisco.

"Hi Bill,
  San Francisco, as you know, is a world class, cosmopolitan city. A few 
weeks back I treated myself to dinner at Boulevard, an absolute 
wonderful experience. Top chef Nancy Oaks is frequently featured on the 
food network, and in all the hotrod food mags. This place pretty much 
invented "fusion" cuisine, which loosely translated means the plates are 
of strange shapes and very large. In the middle of such a plate is a 
tiny amount of actual food. However, this is of the best quality and has 
been stacked into a little tower and usually surrounded by 
artistic drips of various emulations. You sort of want to either 
photograph or pray to it.
  No one there, from the slinky clad hostess to the crispy bartender, 
knew that the location was formerly Earthquake Magoon's. To them Turk 
Murphy might be a terrorist."

Best
Bill
