Here's a birthday shocker from yesterday....Toni Tennille:

68! :wow:

That is all.

On edit: No it isn't.

From Wikipedia: "Toni began her career studying classical piano and singing with Auburn University’s big band, the Auburn Knights. Toni did backup vocals on Pink Floyd's Wall."

:hi:

I was just about to look for pics. :thumbsup:

Is she still with the "Captain"?

Darrell Dragon or something strange like that?

His father, Carmen Dragon, was a director of a symphony orchestra in L.A. - I don't know what it's called.

I was a MAJOR groupie.

I met him when I was in high school, at music camp. He was one of the guest conductors. He was a great guy, very relaxed. We high school kids were a bit intimidated by the conductors. We got a new one every week for five weeks. This was at the University of Kansas. He was there the first week. We played the Finale of Shostakovich's Fifth.

We played his arrangement of "America the Beautiful" which they used to play on TV before they signed off for the night (I remember when they weren't on 24 hours a day).

He was a brilliant arranger. What he did to an old saw like "America the Beautiful" was amazing.

He has a daughter also named Carmen Dragon who is a harpist.

And interesting info, Richardo. I did NOT know that about her singing on Pink Floyd's "The Wall".

on the section 'Wow what a fabulous room...are all those your guitars?...' ?

And according to Wikipedia, it was someone named Trudy Young.

but he used his time with the microphone to bash Rush Limbaugh (!) -a complete non-sequitur, but entertaining just the same. (Grand Rapids, MI, 1994)
