I was, quite literally, dragged by my mother to see him do Mark Twain at some very small venue on Long Island when I was a teenager (so this would be late 70s, early 80s). To put it mildly, I did not want to go - and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it. If he could work that magic, he could do anything.
(and oy, the other things my mother dragged me to - Mel Torme, Ella Fitzgerald, Rosemary Clooney, Victor Borge - wish I could go back in time and appreciate what I was seeing.) |
