I'm just glad to see that cookies wasn't in quotes.

I once sat in a small airport (Roanoke, IIRC) and drank coffee next to Rick
Nelson. I didn't know who he was until my now ex-wife told me. She was all
atwitter when it struck her, but by that time her plane was loading.

The movie about Rick's life starts and ends with him in a conversation
with a woman at a small airport just before he takes his last flight.
That wasn't your (ex) wife was it?

As a little boy, I was eating cookies on the WhiteHouse lawn during a Press
Corp picnic (old man was a journalist), and Lyndon Johnson's 2 beagles
jumped up and grabbed my cookies. LBJ himself pulled them off.

ummm....back in the early early 70's, or maybe the late 60's, when I was
just starting in radio....Wolfman Jack was in our radio station and did a
stint on my show.....that was kinda cool. After that, some of the girls at
school even talked to me!! :>)

Course he's dead now...wonder if it was my fault?

Yeah, I remember CC&TLPA


Gloat: I had my picture taken with Avalon Anders of the
Swedish Bikini Team. She was a true sweetie. The problem
was that I had forgotten my camera and the nice receptionist
had one in her car so she took the picture. She had forgotten
to put film in it, so I came away with only a signed copy
of the photo of the Playboy cover with the girls on it.
sigh...

Most of the 'famous' musicians I've been involved with down through the
years basically impressed me only with their obvious musical talent.
However, I do have two entries in the "something to tell your grandkids"
department. I sat across the aisle from, and had a lengthy conversation
with, Mohammed Ali in the first class section of a nearly empty late night
flight from Denver to Houston some years back and was verily impressed with
the man himself. And George Foreman used to sit on the back of my pickup
truck while I put shoes on his horses and would joke that he wouldn't want
to fight me after seeing me wrestle with 1200 lb horses all day, especially
when he found that I had once sparred one round with Cleveland Williams as
part of a college boxing exhibition (he just played with me, gently, at
about 1/10th speed). Both the former were/are true gentlemen in the finest
sense and did not seem, in person, the "bigger than life" personas you read
about.

My ex and I rode down in an elevator from the top of Rockefeller
Center with Bon Crosby after his band had played at the Rainbow Room.
We had a great discussion about the vocal group that was on his
afternoon tv show in the mid 50s, the Modernaires with Paula Kelly.

I win! ...at being the oldest, anyway.

I rode up in an elevator with Ginger Rogers back in the fifties. She
was arguing with her manager. She was playing at a summer theatre in
Cohoes
NY The hotel was the old TenEicht
in Albany;

It's a Senco Model MI. It's pretty old and looks like Norm got a lot of use
out of it. I think my friend said it was the first pneumatic tool shown on
TOH. I'll try to send you a picture.

Thanks. Got it. I know you never said anything about NYW, but I was
hoping.... It's not one he used there. Must have been strictly on TOH.

I appreciate the effort.
