I've always liked Perry Como...Jim Reeves and Nat King Cole ain't bad either.

Right place, Right Time...... it doesn't happen often, but when it does.....
Friend of a friend was in a small club years back, to see Jeff Healey and his band. Flu or something, but not long before the close, his drummer was visibly ill..... got him off stage and taken care of. Show Must Go On..... Jeff takes the mic, lets people know the drummer is being cared for, then asks "I wanted to finish with Freebird.... any drummers in the house ?". Friend of a Friend yells "I'd give up my left ____ to play Freebird with you", and, he did.
Piano was more common back then, and Randy had heard plenty played by Burton, so I can see him giving the pizza guy a shot
.... it was a Different Time....Rgds, D.

If I remember correctly, Jackie Gleason made a lot of jokes about Dean's drinkin' in his monologue.

The Yardbards easily holds the distinction for the band I've read the most about, but never really listened to. Some legendary bands formed out of their prior members.
They had some really good songs,
but as you say the members moved on to bigger things. Sometimes it’s nice to hear something different though.
