chas,
I can remember my dad getting a phone call on a Sunday afternoon from Danny asking him to fly up to San Francisco for dinner at a Chinese Restaurant Danny loved to eat at time after time. My Dad would say no most times because he had a family to be with but on occasion he would take the ride in Danny's jet. I think one of the planes I remember him flying was a jet commander. I used to drive to the Van Nuys airport with my mom to pick my dad up when they would return from a month playing at the Desert Inn in Las Vegas or from a month in Lake Tahoe. During my childhood, we would spend usually July or August in Las Vegas when Danny Kaye would perform in the main ballroom of the Desert Inn. It was a great life and Las Vegas was such a different place in the early 60's.
Thanks for bringing back some of these great memories I don't often think of anymore.
