Ah, Tallulah, always there when I need you! So, did I get that right? Is it 3 for Frank and 2 for Liz? Or the reverse? Did you come with Carl and me to that first Paradise show of FB's, with Johnny Polonsky?
Yes, we saw Frank three times together (including the J.P. time) and Liz twice. I saw her the third time in the summer, you were away. I think you forgot the Smoking Popes - didn't you see them twice? And also, Morrissey more than once?
