Re: Once in a lifetime

Back to the original question on this thread - Got to meet and talk with Maynard back in '73 in Allentown Pa while in college at Lehigh University (first saw Maynard in a double header with Herbie Mann - Sid Marks emcee at the Academy in Philly in '69 - all acoustic Brit band with MF!!! Best ever. Also got to usher a benefit at Lehigh with Ella Fitzgerald and Buddy Rich. Mr. Rich lit up a cigarette - in the no smoking building - so guess who was nominated to tell him that fact??? And remember W.C. Fields in "Go away kid, you bother me...." But had Buddy listened to me....

But even better took my son to hear Doc, Wynton, Maynard, and the Canadian Brass all in the same year. Got to meet and get autographs from all but Doc (he had to run unfortunately). Really impressed my son.
