Tad put on the coffee in the Bunn machine then sat in the booth next to the jukebox.
He had Larry, the guy who serviced the jukebox add the Zorba theme.

Tad played it sometimes late at night when he felt sentimental and he was drinking a couple of shots. Sometimes, like today, he played it in the morning to set a mood.
The guys were coming today.
These guys didn’t want Tad making a fuss over their visits. Besides Tad’s little brother Bobby, nobody knew about the two,
Gus and Mike would just take a coffee and maybe spend a couple minutes chatting, if that.
That was okay with Tad. The less song and dance the better.
