I have two of my peeps going to it, and they know of his parent's passing, so I'm sure that at least two people at the show will know. Hopefully, more will, and hopefully, they will do something really special for AL.

That'd be really cool.

A friend of mine called this venue and the woman there said yes, Al is performing there tonight.

He's an amazing guy to be able to function on his normal professional level after hearing yesterday's news.

Way to go, Al! I would respect his decision either way, but he really does live by "the show must go on" philosophy.

This means something. This is important.

Al is a man of incredible strength. I admire him so much.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

Maybe it's wrong to say it, but I had no doubt in my mind he would.
You have quickly thought up such matchless phrase?

Wow. I am floored at the strength it must take to do this. I'm a big Gracie Allen fan, and this reminds me of when her mother died in the morning and she went ahead and went onstage with George Burns for their regular shows that afternoon and evening. George said no one could have known she had just lost her mother. She was such a professional.

And Al, as we all knew but this just further proves, is as well. He comes from good stock, as they say. Big hugs to him, and I hope that the audience sends him 10 times the love they normally would. He truly is a rare gem.
Ham on, ham on whole wheat. All Right.
