In the very early 70's, the famous old Phoenix hotel here in Lexington was remodeled and a "grand opening" week was scheduled. Carmen Cavallaro and his trio were headliners for the week. My partner Tom Johnston and I were offered the regular job. We didn't take it (day jobs), but were on the bill and I got to listen and visit with the band. Sat in on my old Ampeg upright and Ampeg flip-top.
How lucky I was to have this experience!

I would have love to have been there!
