My Brush with Greatness
Don't know if You do
3rd person brushes but thought this was a really cool story.
My Dad had a Doctor friend that took
his wife to Chicago for vacation.
They wanted to see Nat King Cole but every night the line was very
long.
Their last night in town they went to his club & it was the same
thing, people standing in line down the block.
The Doctors wife says "I'm not leaving
Chicago until I get to see Nat King Cole."
The doctor got the doormans attention
and slipped him a twenty (A lot of money back then)
and said they were friends of Nat. The doorman returned a few minutes
later and not only
let them in but escorted them front & center to Nat's personal
table.
All well & good except the doctor
told my dad that he was s*****ing in his pants
because once the set was over Nat would come over & realize that he
didn't know them
& have them drug out by their ears. After the set Nat came over and
talked and laughed
and was just a super nice guy and never mentioned that he didn't know
them.
I've watched several old videos of his
TV show and I believe it. The Guy exuded class.
