Great story! Laurie Records used good backup musicians and Dion was more than just a typical teen age idol (though he was that too). He knew what he wanted on his records.
Sounds like something you might hear in the expensive seats at Avery Fisher (sorry - David Geffen) Hall. I'm only guessing at that - I've never been there - expensive seats or otherwise.
I don't like to complain - I'm happy that these forums even exist - but it seems crazy that something like this could happen with a long running thread.
Never saw Die Hard . First saw him in Truly, Madly, Deeply. He was always a pleasure to watch, whether on the big screen or occasionally on TV.
Thanks, Mr. Rickman.
Listened to this at home over the weekend and it sounded better. My previous (re)listen was in the car, so I guess that's to be expected. I'm still not sure if the tenor solos are enough to make me keep the CD, but at least I'm considering that at this point.
I guess I was too young then to appreciate his skill in the field. I never realized how highly he was regarded as a player back then (my only excuse is that I watched mostly National League games when I was young) until I read his obituary.
