Looking forward to the TV special as usual-- one of the few TV events I'll make an effort to watch in real time.

Man, someone is desperate to get a conversation started... I swallowed it whole. Forced me to look it up. I was hoping that Billy Joel was a 'typo' too. No such luck...

The Kennedy Center Honors aren't issued posthumously.

(The name is such a terrific pun, especially in context, and the band really does/did exist.)

Nice one hal *(:>* My music tastes are eclectic ~!~ Grew up in a house where my dad played Harmonica Organ, Piano and never took a lesson. He played the stuff that was on the radio and TV in those daze.

Can you say Lawrence Welk, Spade Cooley Tennessee Ernie Ford , Perry Como, Dean Martin
Frank Sinatra, Dick Clark, Elvis, Bill Haley and the Comets et al from the 1950's and 1960's.

Not to mention those special jam sessions inspired by good friends, Banjos, Drums, Tambourines and
udder handy musical accessories around the house *(:>*

In California we grew up slow dancing at sock hops and rainy daze in the gym.

Life is good and memories were made of this *(:>*

Not to _exactly_ derail, but I wonder how many of us had this experience while growing up? We weren't much of a musical family, but that didn't stop us. My own specialties were Bongos and the amplified Kazoo.

This stood me good stead in my later years; when I was going to make a fool of myself in public, I was well prepared.
