[net.games.trivia] Anyone remember this TV show?

Can somebody help me with this one?  It is a tv program that aired about
7-8 years ago. I think it aired on Saturday evenings. It was a sitcom
and one of the characters was a (string) bass player for the Boston
Symphony Orchestra.  I seem to remember him running up the steps of Symphony 
Hall at the beginning of each program.

Did this program involve a (female) roommate?
  
I think one of the words in the title was friends or buddies or something
to that effect.

The program mentioned by Ira Idelson about the Boston Symphony
string player was called "Paul Sand Friends and Lovers".
I don't remember anything else about it.

The show was Paul Sands, Friends and Lovers.  Paul Sands made his big
breakthrough on the Mary Tyler Moore show and then got a 1/2 hr. sitcom
of his own.  I really enjoyed it, but it was ahead of its time and
probably too good for American Network TV.   Ohh well.
By the way, I recollect he was a Cello player and had many interesting
run-ins on the subway, etc.

I think that the show about a string bass player was "Paul Sands' Friends and Lovers".
Paul Sands played a perpetual loser.
