Tony,
Great story! With the last name Granahan and in RI, gotta wonder whether he's related to the local newscaster/radio talk show host Tara Granahan?
I believe it is his daughter ...
great story for sure ... you never know
if it happen to me, I prefer to know after the gig because if I know one of my "hero" is watching and listening in the audience, I could not play very well with shaking hands and feet
One highlight for me was when I was working weekends in the piano lounge at this upscale Italian restaurant ... I would leave my gear set up on Friday and on Saturday I was walking through the restaurant to the lounge and who do I see but Jerry Vale having dinner with his family - his daughter lived in the next town over - Later he came into the lounge with his young grandson and listened for a while ... man was I nervous ... but as he left he said to me "Nice job, thank you ..."
