Charlie Byrd, the eminent jazz guitarist, lived in Annapolis MD and had a long-running gig at the Maryland Inn.  A classy, small room place with limited and tightly packed seating at breadboard sized tables.  In 1981 GF and I went to hear him there.  The room was quite dark when we were seated. I soon noticed diagonally from me at the next table was a very beautiful woman, but I didn't notice her male companion seated about two feet from my right (yes, really packed). At a brief pause between numbers our drink orders were taken and I heard the man in this unmistakable and memorable Scottish burr speak his cocktail order.  Yes, Sean Connery.  Over the next 90 minutes the four of us would chat briefly during pauses and the very short intermission. Mostly we spoke about our admiration for Charlie Byrd. He seemed a gracious and witty guy with good taste in music. GF and I got a fun evening with great music and this story. RIP, Sean Connery.
 
Man, that is a great memory for you to have.{#Cheers}

Yeah, I always thought that was odd that he was only 50 when he did that film.  They grayed his hair and did make-up to make him look older.  He was good in "The Thing".

Wilford used to live over in the next county (near where Kanye just bought another ranch). He used to make appearances at the Greybull/Ten Sleep boy scouts or FFA fundraisers just to get butts in the seats. Show up, have a Pepsi, visit with the folks then duck out. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to bring thousands of dollars in just by walking through a room? Not a posh area, but pretty with semiarid scrub pine and sagebrush and dinosaurs ... but a few years ago decided it would be better for him to live closer to  2-story hospital.

 
Something always just seemed familiar about him. 
Never saw this. Happens to be first song I learned to play on harmonica a long time ago.
