Wow. I have always been a HUGE fan & consider myself lucky to have seen him perform TWICE — once in ‘Tempe’, Arizona c. 1981 & then 34 years later in ‘Wolfeboro‘, New Hampshire. The second time, I was fortunate enough to be a stagehand for the show! So, as you can see, I got to meet him. He was JUST WONDERFUL. Will never forget. Then, in his 70s, he had a very soft, gentle voice. Personification of a gentleman.

I never realized how HIGHLY he was thought of by his ‘peers’. This video gives you some idea.

Lots of videos about him on YouTube. Look around enjoy.

‘Great Waters‘ is back in 2021, post COVID, raring to roar — now as ‘Concerts in the Clouds‘. After 4- or 5-year hiatus I am back, in earnest, giving them a hand — as usual, as a volunteer.

In the ‘old days’, i.e., 2015 — 2017 (or 2018), I was always a ‘stagehand‘. Now I am ‘security’. It is going to be fun & rewarding. I am glad to be back with ‘Great Waters’.

As I did in the past, I will sure chronicle our performances as we go along.

Come & support us. Come & say ‘Hi’. I am easy to spot. Thanks.
