And because he's a great player (if I do say so), he did a great job (with no rehearsal and he'd never met Steve...even before they took the stage...it was a trio + Steve.) Well, J. knew just went to do a rim shot during Steve's banter and I could tell watching the sets that he was pleased. Afterwards, we were wolfing down a slice of pizza on the break before J went on to do another set with a big band...when suddenly the stage manager pulled at him and said Steve wanted to meet him. We went into the little dressing room and he asked Jeffrey about himself, where he was from (Portland) and if he had a card (he gave him one). I asked if I could take a photo of the two of them and it hangs in our living room. When he died, we read in one of his obituaries that he was notorious for recording notes from his life...and as we walked out of the dressing room that day, we heard him talking into his little recorder...reciting J's info from his business card. :)Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014929186976646915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13725648.post-1619696047170856702008-01-30T00:41:00.000-05:002008-01-30T00:41:00.000-05:00LOL - this is so funny :-D!LOL - this is so funny :-D!Archanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309876478638378883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13725648.post-47223876776548789372008-01-29T21:29:00.000-05:002008-01-29T21:29:00.000-05:00Your friend must have felt really thrilled for com...Your friend must have felt really thrilled for coming up with such a line on the spot, using it to turn the tables on a famous personality and getting laughs from him! Most people miss chances like that as they think of clever things they could have said only when the moment has passed!Bharathishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12293700960751053480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13725648.post-2145099929444694412008-01-28T21:21:00.000-05:002008-01-28T21:21:00.000-05:00That's a great story!
