by C. Andrew Hovan
Gilly’s Dayton, Ohio November 18, 2000 Putting aside the obvious marketing ploys (such as “young lion meets seasoned veteran” or “cross-generational fellowship at its best”), the pairing of Columbus native Hank Marr and New York phenom Eric Alexander just plain made sense considering that Marr has managed to develop a ...
