Many thanks, BT!
FYI - the song, "Frady's" is a homage to a sandwich shop/corner store that is down the street from where Andy lives. Its a funky little place that serves that classic NO sandwich, the po boy.

Thank you Bluestender. I've always thought of him as a NO version of James Harman and just as good a songwriter
