and that story is.... (since we KNOW you want to tell it :wink: )


I thought for sure I'd told it before. Ali seemed to recognize it.

very abridged version, I had a limo gig to pick Mancini up at his Bel Air mansion, drive him to SD & check him into the Omni.  Next day pick him up at 6:45 & take him to local TV studio for a morning show appearance, then return him to Bel Air an hour later.  On the way down the 405 he fell asleep in the back in a most unnatural position & I became convinced that he had expired.  I called his name & when that didn't work I began jerking the wheel in hopes of jarring him awake, which went on for about 10 minutes before he finally rolled over into a more natural position & began to snore audibly.  Big relief.  I embellished this a bit in telling Dave et al.

Later when I brought him home the next day I asked if I could use the bathroom, mostly becasue I wanted to see the inside of the house.  He reluctantly agreed, and the cook showed my through the kitchen to a servants bathroom, but I could step into the formal dining room & saw on a mantle 30 or so feet away all of his Oscars.  So that was the payoff.

"Wondrous Stories" is '77?  My late-'70s Yes memory is hazy.

yep, as Bob said, from the Going For The One.  That was Jon Anderson on the harp.

Glad to hear Bob also digs the riff in "The Core".

Actually I like "Wondrous Stories". But then I always liked Wakeman -- wish Dave or Bob would pull out an excerpt from Journey to the Center of the Earth some morning.

BTW I have the first of many every-other-Friday meetings (a class, actually) starting today, and boy am I pissed since Fridays tend to be special.  So enjoy and make copious comments.

did you hear Renee's Rock 'n' Roll Thingy yesterday?  She had a bit on how Her Ethereal Highness is putting together a Vegas show for Caesar's, including the marketing hype quoting Stevie saying all the "one-of-a-kind" and "never-before-seen" BS.  Then Renee closed by saying, with more than a hint of irony in her voice:

"Caesar's is Elton John & Celine Dion's home away from home, too."
