That probably was Roger playing "Remembering You". He is a fabulous
pianist and a nice guy. The Ginger Man restaurant was owned in part
by Carroll O'Connor. The Ginger Man was first opened in the Lincoln
Center area of New York City by Patrick and Michael O'Neal. Patrick's
first success was in the play "The Ginger Man", and that's where the
name came from. In time they opened another one in New York on 57th
St. and the Beverly Hills one. George Segal was also another regular
at The Ginger Man. He played banjo there with the Conrad Janis's
(Mindy's father on Mork & Mindy) Beverly Hills Unlisted Jazz Band.
By the way, Conrad's mother was Harriet Janis, the co-author of
"They All Played Ragtime".
