Back in those days entertainers did their jobs with style, sheer charisma and personality. Today's performers seem to be afraid to let themselves be who they are. I'm sure papparazzi media and a PC culture fuel this loss.Thanks again Anthony, some day we gotta have a shot together.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480047895970191126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475969042192089612.post-7838653314415056492010-05-17T16:06:10.281-04:002010-05-17T16:06:10.281-04:00Great tribute, Anthony.

I especially enjoyed your Concert memories (even if you didn't take the chance to talk to Sammy) and the history behind Mr. Bojangles (and what a cool performance!) <br /><br />Your mind holds dates-- who did what where, why, and when-- so well. I wish my mind worked like that. ;-)Jodi MacArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373591664178281529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475969042192089612.post-20858213453449882932010-05-17T13:08:30.673-04:002010-05-17T13:08:30.673-04:00If you can judge a man by who he admires, you are ...If you can judge a man by who he admires, you are the bomb.<br />You craft such excellent reviews, full of facts, history, and heart.<br />Great stuff Anthony!EChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359075647077590741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7475969042192089612.post-58801452479225900352010-05-17T07:54:51.560-04:002010-05-17T07:54:51.560-04:00What an excellent tribute to Sammy.What an excellent tribute to Sammy.Alan W.
