3. I have a strong memory of seeing Charlie Watts outside Ronnie Scotts.

My hubby and I visited London in 1986 to see friends and the production of "Chess" with Murray Head at the Prince Edward Theatre. Two friends were in the ensemble and we waited at the stage door to have dinner with them after their rehearsal. I just looked up the theater and Ronnie Scott's jazz club is where he often hung out. I recall seeing Watts on the stairs where we sat waiting across the street. It was just a meeting of the eyes, but unforgettable. He did look dapper.

7. Awww, thanks so much, my friend!

Actually, a buddy of mine posted in GD how much she enjoyed Brian Williams' tribute and everyone should see it, so I added the video to her thread - then I decided to start an OP so everyone could see it. Brian Williams left us with an outstanding tribute!
