Never changes the shirt, can't get the head through the hole.

tvad, I fondly recall when Larry (larsky) was  somewhat regularly posting here. He possesed a very obvious good soul to me.

I left out the Michael (I think it was) who was VP of the record label Holly Cole recorded Temptation on because I am still embarrassed to have forgotten his name. But he’s another one I learned a lot from. He came to visit our audio club and play us some demo tapes on the release of their newly remastered Kind of Blue, their claim to fame being having tracked down a master tape and researched the deck and figured out all the Kind of Blue everyone has been hearing for years and years is at the wrong speed.

Michael Fremer by the way, this was 1992 or something like that, no internet, hardly any email, people would write actual paper from dead tree letters to Stereophile. Or fax. Mine was faxed. Thought long as I’m going to the trouble asking questions might as well include a couple phone numbers. This was before cell phones too so put my work number on there. Lo and behold Mikey calls me at work! Ha!

My life has always to me seemed rather normal. Looking back on it though, meeting Carl Sagan, Paul Newman, Jerry Seinfeld, and Mario Andretti, being on set with Michael Douglas and Dennis Miller, if all you do all day long is peck out pointless whiny blather it must all sound unbelievably fantastic.

Oh well.

Miller, I know what you mean.  I raced at Road America in a race that Mr. Newman was at.  Ate with Henry Kloss, and just happened to be in some place for some reason when a "known" person was there.  None of it made me any better/different than that fanfare for that "common man". .. As a sidelight.... Steve McQueen and Paul Newman were actually very good drivers and their fame may have made some people think it was their fame...but no, the were good drivers.  McQueen won his class at Sebring driving with Peter Revson.  From Bullitt, the the film Le Mans, McQueen did every bit of driving the insurance companies would allow and then he would do a bit more. 

The fact that Dick Van Dyke is a distant cousin doesn't help me as he has no idea I exist.  But you can't help but envy a guy that was in a show with a young, beautiful Mary Tyler Moore.
