[Dixielandjazz] Celebrity thread-Conrad Janis

[Morton Weintraub]

50+ years ago we used to go to hear Conrad Janis at the Central Plaza,
on 2nd Ave. south of 8th St. Such, such were the joys...Does anybody
know the whereabouts of Conrad Janis?

Conrad Janis is the first guy that comes to mind. Molly Ringwald also
has at
least one album of trad-jazz favorites to her credit that I know of.

Woody Allen has been mentioned  here on the DJML for  playing
clarinet(actor, producer, director, comedy writer, Academy Award winner)
Anyway it brings back some memories about some other celebrities that I
recall playing instruments as well as other activities.. A few that come
to
mind are Maury Wills (banjo, baseball player), George Segal (banjo,
actor,
Academy award winner),Dudley Moore (jazz pianist, comedian, movie
credits?),Hal Linden (clarinet, actor, TV sitcom). Jack Sheldon (
trumpet,
actor, comic, TV personality) Ozzie Nelson( big band leader, TV star),
Kevin
Bacon (rocker, actor), Harry Connick( actor, pianist, singer, song
writer)
who could forget Steve Allen ? ! I'm sure there are many more, but I
find
the thread interesting.

Perhaps we can think of others.......
