1) For any person whose memories of New Haven go back to the sixties and include The Spot (next door to Pepe's) I submit Spot pizza as superior to either-- 2) A lot of great wisdom here. RUS is a good way to get started but like most of us who are posting on Mudcat, the more you know, the more you WANT to know, and the straightjacket of RUS is not very enjoyable. I have learned some songs out of it but prefer the way I have learned (or folk processed) most songs to the versions there. But it is a good place to start. And THANKS JOE and everybody else who keeps DT running cause that is where I start when I have a song to sing-O and can't remember much beyond a phrase. Happy New Year, PETE
