So, did you give away the secret for Daniel’s great sense of humor??–Rick Elice?? And I thought they were all Daniel’s original ad-libs!!

Seriously, I agree with all you said, but I want to add how great it was hearing “Moon River” again with Steve’s great harmonica work setting up Daniel’s wonderful pipes. It gave me goose bumps to go back to the days of Audrey Hepburn, Geroge Peppard, and “Cat”, and Steve and Daniel gave Andy Williams, Henry Mancini, and Jerry Butler a run for their money.

I was also touched by Daniel’s fine tribute to John Denver and his Christmas album with the Muppets. John Denver was my favorite 1970′s artist, and Daniel’s rendition (with ample support from Bryan) was terrific. I know my friend, Jeff Deutschendorf, John Denver’s first cousin and boyhood friend, will be blown away when I tell him.

But, as always, I really take my hats off to Daniel for staying for as long as it took to greet everyone personally and thank them for coming. I’ve been to many events (entertainment and sports) where the headliners just can’t wait to take off.

Thank you for a marvelous summary, Audrey. I’ve read it and re-read it several times, and it is giving me the opportunity to experience a wonderful evening again and again!
