...Passim is] cozy. It's real old, and that's nice," Donlin said. "It's nice to have a place that's intimate and not slick. There are fewer and fewer funky places like this...
...wrote a tune). One of the songs on the new CD, Inside of Me, even shamelessly samples from Back and Forth, a pop hit by the hot teenage singer Aaliyah that is still on the Billboard charts (Madonna does list Aaliyah in the credits).

Nicky sports Dean hair and the ivories with the flamboyance of Liberace; he's funny to us, but a heart-breaker to the trio from yesteryear. There's a great scene where Fanny (Esme Howard), loosened up after a dip in a jacuzzi, abandons her corsets for a slinky cocktail gown and trips the light fantastic in Nicky's arms, to the tune of "Sophisticated Lady...
