Hey, Pops,

Want to play the blues?

Are you Jimmy Doyle?

No,

You're the sax player, ain't you?

I'm a sax player,

but I'm not Jimmy Doyle,

Do you think it's possible

that you can communicate

with Jimmy Doyle

the sax player?

Depends on what

you want me to communicate,

I have a very important missive

tor Jimmy Doyle,

- A what?

- A billet-doux,

- A billet-doux?

- A Billy who?

I'll elucidate,

A tender message

trom a certain temale party,

For me?

- For you,

- For him?

Precisely,

Take it, Doyle,

It's trom Francine,

She said she had

a wondertul time,

Hey, wait, I'll be right back,

- Where you goin', baby?

- Be right back,

That girl ain't comin', is she?

- I'm getting her now,

- Ten minutes, or you're tired,

What do you care?

There's no one here anyway,

You had your jam session,

and now you're not coming back!

Hey, man, hold it,

Hey, Daddy, hold it, hold it,

Hey, can I talk to you tor a minute?

- Did you read this letter?

- Ot course not,

What do you think I am, crazy,

read letters?

- Your name is Tony Harwell?

- That's right,

- You're an agent?

- Yeah,

- You're her agent?

- Ot course,

She says, "Just ask Tony

it you need any help on anything,

He's a wondertul cat,

and he appreciates talent,"

- Let me see that letter,

- I can't show you the letter,

It's a personal letter,

but that's what she said,

She also said that she's

with Frankie Harte's band,

she's on the road, and there's

a possibility ot a spot tor me,

- Is that true?

- Possibility,

- A possibility?

- That's right,

You're an agent?

I reiterate, yes,

It I went down there,

would you be my agent?

No,

Why not?

I ain't interested, I'm satistied

with the list ot clients I got now,

You're makin' a mistake,

but okay,

I made a lot ot mistakes,

So I'll make another one,

This one's on me,

Well, where is she?

Why should I tell you where she is

it she doesn't tell you in the letter?

Then why do you take the time to come

out to Brooklyn to give me this letter

it you don't think

she cares enough about me

to let me know where she is,

or to let you know

to let me know where she is?

Doesn't that make sense to you?

It should, but it don't,

- They're in Asheville,

- Asheville?

But don't mention my name,

It Frankie asks me, I don't know you,

I'll say I never even met you,

I don't know you,

- Where is Asheville?

- Where God lost His shoes,

Where God lost His shoes,

That's a good answer,

Thanks a lot, I'll tind it,

Asheville is a mountain resort

in North Carolina,

Thanks tor telling me,

You got any other advice tor me?

Yeah, Stay ott the junk,

and you'll go tar,

Fine, Thanks a lot,

Swell ot you to say that,

Once in a while

Won't you try to give

one little thought

To me

Though someone else

may be nearer your heart?

Once in a while

Won't you think ot the moments

I shared with you

Moments betore we two

dritted apart?

In love's smoldering embers

One spark may remain

It love still can remember

That spark may burn again

They lett? Where did they go,

do you know?

It is? It's the Maytair Club

in Roanoke, Virginia?

Hello?
