Mine, too.

>Round about 28 years ago I and my beloved took our kids to Anaheim, she took a tour around Beverly Hills, I took the kids to Disneyland. I remember, Teddy Buckner playing. ( I think ) The kids went on the rides and I waited at Piano Corner ( or something like that )  A lady came and started playing ragtime, I was the only one listening and being 'into' ragtime I asked her to play a Joplin Rag, and then another, and another. She invited me to sit by her and I had an enchanted afternoon, desperately trying to think of the next rag to suggest. She was terrific, she was friendly and she also played stride. The question is, what was her name, it's a bloody nuisance getting old.

That sounds like maybe Judy Carmichael, who worked Disneyland for five
summers when she was in her 20s.  Not knowing her age now I can't
calculate when those five years might have been.

Much more about her at http://www.judycarmichael.com/articles.shtml
