It did not break the Duo’s hearts at all when Time Life suggested they come to DC to visit, eat lobster at one their collective places and plot marketing strategies for the coming year. The head of Time Life had introduced them to one of the best kept hotel secrets in DC, the Mansion on O Street, NW. It is an eclectic museum of music and antiques; doesn’t advertise; and you’re anonymous — if anyone calls, you do not exist. You fix your own breakfast in this magnificent row house. And just all the rockers and others stay there when in town. In fact, on their first trip Arlo Guthrie poured Keith his first cup of coffee of the day. It has hidden passages, book cases that swing open leading to hidey hole rooms and run by a true renaissance lady, known only as “H” and her husband Ted.
While taking a walk, Keith & Jett noticed an attractive young lady carrying a dog—he commented on the dog and she responded. In three minutes Jett established that Elizabeth was from Alabama and went to the University. The Duo was invited for drinks with her and her friend, who turned out to be about Keith’s age. Friend Paul owns a string of restaurants in DC and it didn’t take long for them to realize they know and knew all of the same folks — the movers, the shakers, the good, the bad and the ugly. We think this might be a budding relationship. After drinks at a Paul owned restaurant, it was lobsters with Time Life and meetings the next day. Great fun.
