    One of my local pizza places recently changed hands. The new owner had piped-in music put in. For a person of my tastes, that could have been disastrous. However, the channel to which it was tuned this evening
    played nothing but songs from 1956! Among the selections I heard while
    eating dinner:

    DON'T BE CRUEL, Elvis Presley
    EDDIE MY LOVE, The Teen Queens
    JUMP, JIVE AND WAIL, Louis Prima
    OOBY DOOBY, Roy Orbison
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, James Brown
    R-O-C-K, Bill Haley & The Comets
    SINGING THE BLUES, Marty Robbins
    SLIPPIN' AND SLIDIN', Little Richard
    STRANDED IN THE JUNGLE, The Cadets
    THE WAYWARD WIND, Gogi Grant
    YOU CAN'T CATCH ME, Chuck Berry
    (You've Got) THE MAGIC TOUCH, The Platters

    Your post reminded me that I had NEVER tasted pizza until the very first
    time I visited the USA in 1968. There were just no pizza places over
    here and none of the stores or supermarkets stocked them

    Now of course they are everywhere especially in London since the "americanization" of our capital city

    P.S Of course I should add that I LOVE the stuff--and sadly have the
    waistline to prove it !! :)

    Yeah,I love that scene in "The Sopranos"

    Reminds me of the trouble we had finding a decent enough London
    restaurant to wine and dine The Marianos at when they flew over to visit
    one time
