I met The great OP when I was in high school. My English teacher knew him and arrange for him to come a play for our class. I was sitting less than 10’ from him as he amazed and talked to us. It wasn’t until years later that I came to realize what a gift that was.

Most cool.
And looks like we're in the same town.
My story is 'sort of' meeting Dizzy Gillespie - he came to play at McGill while I was there - after he spoke to some of the music students, I just happened to be standing in the lobby - beside a fellow student of the feminine persuasion. Diz's smile lit up as he walked over and chatted her up. Not sure he even noticed me... but hey...

Not sure what to Mako that one. After a few minutes to Mullet over, I think you either post for the Halibut, or you're trolling, Scrod only knows.
