He was the nicest, most unpretentious, non-egocentric person imaginable. You all know him from television or his voice work. That's what he did for money. As his friend and neighbor I can tell you his real love was music. I was in his house many times and the living room looked the extra instrument room belonging to a recording studio. Drum kit dominated of course, but guitars, basses, brass instruments and many more. He gave me a 45 of his music; I still have it. The man was an angel to my kids, and the sweetest person you'd ever want to meet.

I never saw the show, since it was, as memory serves, blacked out in upstate NY, as "Bandstand" was for a good chunk of the 70's, in favor of syndicated programming.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-66038085665618115702014-10-14T07:20:33.034-04:002014-10-14T07:20:33.034-04:00Thanks for this lovely comment, Georgi.
