Happy to be with you for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation.
I’m Tom D’Antoni at my desk in NW Portland. At the controls in NE Portland studioblue…all lower case…all one word is Paul K Ward without whom Coffeeshop Conversations wouldn’t exist in its present form.
As Dr. John would say, A big round of ammunition for Paul. And along with hin is our guest today, Jim Friscia, from an organization called Swan Songs, musical last wishes. What’s that? That’s what we’re here to find out.
Jim was one of the founders of Portland’s own Mardi Gras Krewe The Missti Krewe of Nimbus
Which makes merry every Mardi Gras.
And we are still trying to have lunch at that Sicilian restaurant…what was it again Jim?
And what do you recommend?
