Last week we lost Joe Saia, a wonderful person and an outstanding trumpet player. We shared many performances together, from weddings to dance bands and show gigs. He also played with the Franz Benteler Orchestra, as well as Carl Linden and his Artists. We will miss him.

In 1961-62 Kenny Mars played a small part, Baron Elberfeld, in the National Company of The Sound of Music. Mars was also understudy to the part of Herr Zeller. However, you will remember him in several Mel Brooks films playing outrageous characters like the N**I play-write Franz Liebkind in the Producers, and the officer of the law Hans Wilhelm Friedrich Kemp in Young Frankenstein. I am still amazed what talented people I have worked with over the years.

In remembrance of Tony Bennet who was a great artist in every way. Back in the 1970s, I toured with Tony and Lena Horne. Both were fabulous live performers and I remember that tour with fondness.
