oh YES Ram....I think it was called Orange County (before the resort in Coorg came up) and what an accurate description of that ...er...musician (I was told that he died, and I strongly suspected it was either by eating the food or at the hands of one of the cornered diners). We stopped going there for several reasons, but he and the food were two of them. Strange nostalgia...to remember bad food and bad music and smile. Deepa. O > >
