WOW did he have his 15 minutes quickly or what? All these impressionists get very boring to me after a few minutes. In the hey day of the genre, Rich Little, Frank Gorshin, John Byner, George Kirby etc etc.... seems like it was enough to sound like George Burns, Gagney, and Kirk Douglas. Now you really need an hours worth of good material. -- JK Sinrod www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com -- JK Sinrod www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com
