[Dixielandjazz] Celebrity Musicians in general

[Gary Kiser]

Probably not OKOM for most on this list, but Don's reflections on seeing 
Sinatra made me think of a recent concert I attended.  Joe Cocker came 
through Clermont-Fd and I went thinking I'd pardon him for his age, but 
I didn't need to.  He knocked my socks off.  His energy and his soul 
were there at 112%.

All the best, Gary
