[Dixielandjazz] Turk at Carnegie

[Gary Kiser]

Wow, am I out of the loop.  I didn't know the concert was recorded.  I 
went with Richard Miller and Danny Levinson.  We were on the stage 
behind the bands so we had to enter by the stage entrance.  When the 
taxi dropped us off, who was standing in front of me, but Turk himself.  
He never really remembered my name, but he remembered my face from all 
the times I went to EMcGs.  He was movin' pretty slow and I offered to 
carry his trombone for him.  He was happy to lighten his load.  So, 
among my weird claims to fame is that I carried Turk's trombone into 
Carnegie Hall that night.

At some future time, I'll tell you about kissing Count Basie on the 
forehead and playing piano with Steve Allen.

All the best to all, Gary
