A True Classic
"Um, excuse me, sir?"
I was trying to be humble, trying to be polite, and most importantly, I was trying to remain calm. Not an easy task when you're 19, and one of your two favorite singers of all time is within 10 feet.
"Hey, how are you doin?" he said in a friendly, welcoming voice.
"Uh, I'm..."
Crap.
That's where all intelligence stopped and my voice ended. Could I possibly be any more hopeless than I am at this moment? 'Oh Great!' I remember thinking to myself as I began to quiver and felt like my knees could give way at any moment. Why was this so difficult? I never really thought I was the type to get "star-struck," then again, I had never been within spitting distance of a star! Oh no, did I just spit on him? Utter hopelessness.
Finally, after reaching down into the depths of my soul for just an ounce of composure, the words came out of my mouth.
"Can you sign my ticket?"
Just like he knew what he was doing, he took the ticket from my hand, scribbled his signature, and handed it back. But this near-disaster wasn't over yet. My friend who was with me asked if we could have a picture.
"Sure," was all he said.
I moved in closer. Mind you, this entire episode took less than a minute in real time, but in the moment, the clock ticked at a much slower pace. Each step towards this icon took what seemed to be an hour, and required an effort equal to that of rolling a large boulder uphill. Well, you'd think I'd just moved a large mountain by the amount of sweat that now dripped from my forehead.
He'd definitely seen this many times before. I can only imagine the thoughts running through his head (which added to my torment of the moment). God, please don't let this kid pass out or wet himself. I didn't put that in quotes because there's the distinct possibility both of us were thinking that.
"It's okay, come on over," the musical hero said to his fan.
I can't explain what happened in my head that would justify what happened next. All I can say is put yourself in my shoes. You're 19, and you're now about to have a picture with not just a famous entertainer, but one of your all-time favorite singers. It's funny, because you wouldn't think this guy would be revered so much by Brian the kid.
For context's sake, I had just completed my first full year as a DJ for KAJO. The format was something known as "Middle of the Road." That basically meant we could play nearly any genre as long as it was easy on the ears. After a full year at the control board, my favorites became the classics. I was quickly branded the staff "Sinatra-head" and at several points, was lectured for playing too many of Frank's records (I know, oh the humanity! Is there such a thing as too much Sinatra??). I finally worked out a deal that allowed me to play one Sinatra record per week. As inhumane as that seemed, I think I'm a better man for it today, as that forced me to really select a good one. Imagine the pressure of choosing wisely?
I had other favorites...mostly the singers of the 40's and 50's who knew how to swing. I developed boy crushes on the likes of Keely Smith, Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney. I was a huge fan of the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, and especially the arrangements he made for Frank. While my peers were watching MTV and listening to the biggest pop hits of 1989, my musical taste was stuck back in 1959.
"Mind if I do this?" I sheepishly asked as my left arm raised, then lowered, then landed across his shoulders. Before he could answer, the camera snapped, and history was captured. He did say "Sure," but it was too late.
I already had this...
Yep, that's a very youthful me (nice 'stash, Brian) with none other than the incomparable Tony Bennett. The classic crooner was out on tour, and made a stop in southern Oregon for an outdoor concert. In a matter of months, he would tape his classic MTV Unplugged show, which catapulted him back into super-stardom among all age groups, meaning he'd likely not have to play my small town ever again.
Mister Bennett along with Sinatra are my two favorite singers of all time. Everyone has reasons for having a favorite, and yet mine may not be what you think. I met these two and their music at an awkward time in my life. I had graduated high school, attempted college, and was now a real working man trying to learn a skill. I was living away from home, yet still tethered enough that going to see Mom at lunch everyday was common. Socially, I was about as awkward as you can get. Most of my friends were off in college, and the people I worked with were nearly twice my age. Add to that the people I met while working at a station that plays older music. I will always be grateful for the multitudes of adopted parents and grandparents who loved me and listened to me faithfully.
And yet, it remained an awkward time for a young guy who still wasn't completely sure what he was going to do with his life. My constant companion: Music. And more specific, the great storytellers in the music world. Say what you want about how Sinatra lived his life, but admit the guy could tell a story and connect with almost anyone. Both Sinatra's and Mister Bennett's abilities became my safe-haven. During a time when the entire world around me was changing, I could close my eyes and sing along with these guys, and was moved to a good place. Anyone who really knows me will tell you I'm a lyrics guy. For me, it's the words of a song that enlighten me. And it's how those words are delivered that move me. For this reason, in my book, it doesn't get any better than than these two pop music icons.
Tony Bennett will perform at Seattle's Paramount Theater on December 17th, and I just bought my tickets. I think thats probably why I felt moved to write this particular post. I can't wait to see you, Mister Bennett.
Who are the true classics in your life? Maybe it's a person you know, or a person you know of. Maybe it a place or a favorite vacation? Perhaps it is your God. I define a true classic in a very personal sense: Something that means a lot to me. By simply thinking of this person, activity, or deity, I'm flooded with positive feelings and most likely past memories of the good that came to me as a result of knowing or experiencing that "true classic."
Every now and then, I'll have "One of those days" and it always helps me to have a perspective check during those low points. Today started out kind of a blah day. Then, I saw the ad that Tony Bennett was coming to town. It made me think of the time I met him and what his music means to me. I bought my tickets, and suddenly, the day is better. A complete attitude adjustment, and all I had to do was think about something that means a lot to me...a true classic, if you will.
Today, it was you, Mister Bennett, who pulled me up and made me smile. Thank you, once again, for making this kid's day.

Brian,
Nice post -- the emotions of meeting a personal hero certainly sound familiar. For me it was the legendary racing driver Dan Gurney. Great stuff.

Ah, great memories BJ, or Brian as it is now. Many of those adopted parents and grandparents still remember you fondly from your morning show days on KAJO. Had lunch with your old boss, Carl Wilson today. We have matching motor scooters now! Course we both still have Harleys too. I recall your apartment with the walls covered with Sinatra albums, and I still have the Bally pinball machine I bought from you off of Bargain Roundup. Enjoyed your blog that brought back memories.......... Jack
