... I don't know if you're familiar with the old comic strip "Funky Winkerbean", but it was set in Akron and a pizza joint in the strip, Montoni's was based on Luigi's.

Before it was overly hip and one didn't have to wait in line for hours to get in the door, I was there one Sunday late afternoon with some friends. This was during my Red Headed Stranger days. There were jukebox selectors/coin boxes on every table. I put in my coins and hit Georgia On My Mind four times. When Georgia came up the forth time, a waitress pulled the plug on the machine to reset it and I put two more quarters in and hit Georgia again. The look on her face was so worth it.

That album had more great songs on it than almost any other I can readily think of.
