How would you feel if someone opened next door and stated giving away Italian food for tips?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Michelangelo's (I saw the word michelangelo in his email addy and am assuming it is the same) This place is old school good food, by a very gracious and respectable family. They should pay someone decent bread to play there. I think Frank Sinatra/Tony Bennett when I walk into that place and have actually heard it played there in the past. I know for a fact that they have a Dean Martin windup doll on or near the bar area because I saw it when I was there. Too bad they can't bring back that good music from the era that fits the ambience.

The only problem remaining for them is: where will they get someone who can play and sing that difficult rat pack stuff within their 0 balanced budget? Oh, that's right. They will find someone for free. Why would you put some whanker out there strummin on a guitar in a classy place like that?

I suspect that M's is also feeling the crunch and means no foul. After all, most of us have an uncle or cousin that can sit down with a guitar or at the piano, play Blowin in the Wind and they don't get paid, so why should anyone else get money for something my uncle does for free? Get it? That place should go back to variety jazz like they used to have. Even the one-man-band guy did some decent stuff. Hell, you mean they can't afford to pay one guy? Get out your tip jar fellas and go get a yob.
