And he loved what he was doing. And he mesmerized us with his star quality. Same here! We saw him at the Hilton Dome (when we were kids it was called the "Kaiser Dome") many times in the 1980's. I think we even saw him there in 1978. It was pretty much the major touristy thing to do back then...and was heavily marketed. But as you said, he was always fresh and I don't think anyone ever left regretting their decision. :)
