LOL, so, now, having learned that someone here among my friends/followers has hung out with Perry Como, and another one spent Christmas as a child with Henry Mancini, I have decided the world is extremely, extremely tiny.... (already knew that, but....) #music

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I can't match hanging outwith Perry Como or spending Christmas with Mancini - that is in another stratosphere! I once performed with the Smothers Brothers, Steve Allen (the original Tonight Show host), singer Janis Siegel, (Manhattan Transfer), jazz artists; Randy Brecker (trumpet), Eddie Daniels (clarinet), Kenny Werner (piano), and the late Chris Vadala (sax, clarinet & educator.) All of this fell into my lap while I was a music student and member of the WMU faculty jazz quartet. I was so blessed in those days!
