Fly On The Wall...

[Chas]

To revive an old thread...

I would have liked to have been in the lounge where Nat King Cole and Oscar Peterson were doing piano duets one night in Burlington, Ontario.

Probably the only reason you would ever find me in Burlington....

Hey Chas, I like your choices of situations. I wouldn't mind at all being at a jam session with all the bebop greats like Bird, Diz, Barney Kessel, Ray Brown, and a few others. The things I could learn.

I would like to have been at Major Glen Miller's last concert. Then to see his aircraft take off for the heavens.

I would have loved to be in the room for the final negotiation between Hammer and Carnegie.

Two options:

1. NASA Mission Control on July 20, 1969.

2. Anywhere that could have given me some career-ending dirt on that corrupt, visionless fool MacNamara--followed by just the right spot to release it for maximum Damage Expectancy. (This isn't political, it's a combo of ethics, technology and military science.)

Single...

...event?

The US Constitutional convention. Washington, Franklin, et al., in the flesh. In English, so I'd understand them.

 

[Gingerella72]

I would like to have been there the night Ginger Rogers won her Oscar for Kitty Foyle.

Let me go a bit more lowbrow here. I would have liked to see all of William Castle's films in the theatres when they came out, complete of course with gimmicks - Emergo! Percepto! Illusion-O!

Where can you go nowadays for such ballyhoo and silly low-tech fun?

Other than that, I would have liked to see Bunny Berigan perform.
