Dinner With Las Vegas Legends

I will admit that I live a fun life and get to do so many things which most people will never enjoy.

Saturday my friend, Magician Mike Michaels, invited me to dinner with a couple of Las Vegas Legends.  I dined with Disco Star of the 70's & 80's, Monti Rock III, and arguably the Best Comedic Magician In The World, "The Amazing Johnathan" !

At 79, Monti Rock III, who you will remember as "Disco Tex and The Sex-O-Lets" from Saturday Night Fever with the Number One Hit, "Get Dancin" STILL Lights Up A Room when he enters!

The stories this man can tell will have you mesmerized for hours! 

I also suggest you watch a brief documentary on Monti at the link below.

And as a person, you will not meet a Nicer Man!  Here is a Mega-Star in the Entertainment Industry who meets me for the first time and treats me like he has known me all his life.   I am already looking forward to my Next Monti Rock III experience! 

In addition, my friend Mike also had heard from Me and one of his friends Bill, how big of fan I was of "The Amazing Johnathan". 
If you are unfamiliar with his work, check out this video.

A couple of years ago Johnathan was only given a couple months to live due to a Heart Ailment.  Through diet, exercise and Hard Work he was able to build up his strength and schedule some performance again.  The Las Vegas performances were the week I was gone visiting family back East!  BUMMER!   But thanks to Mike, Bill and also Richard who are all personal friends of The Amazing One, he also came to dinner.

I am sad to say that Johnathan is once again having health issues and has had to postpone all his appearances until at least February.   Here is another Legend who did not know me from Adam, who was Funny, Witty, Cordial and treated me as if he had known me for years.   

If you are ever around people in the Entertainment Industry, you will know that they don't sit around making jokes and talking about how Great they are, they talk about life.  They talk of their friends, their families and what is important in their world. 

This evening meant so much to me on both a personal level in getting to meet these Superstars, to a more Private One knowing that my friends World Renowned Magician Mike Michaels, Master Illusion Builder Bill, and others had taken the time and effort to make this evening one I will not soon forget. 

My thoughts and Prayers are with Johnathan as he once again battles his life changing health crisis.


Did you eat Too Much over the Holiday Weekend?  If so, you will appreciate this.

I have good friends back home in Hannibal, Missouri who would NOT think Thanksgiving was complete without their Favorite dish!

Just the sight of the can makes your mouth water doesn't it?

Happy Birthday this weekend to Comedian and Impressionist Rich Little!

At 79 years Young he is still knocking em dead at The Tropicana Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.  He performs four nights a week inside the Intimate setting of the Laugh Factory Comedy Club.

I saw the show a few months back and it was Non-Stop Laughter! 
Happy Birthday Rich!


Once again I want to say just how Lucky and Blessed I am for having some great friends from all walks of life.   I am fortunate that here I was a Small Town Boy who wanted to be on the radio, was given the Talent and also some Lucky breaks that gave me the life I am now able to enjoy in retirement here in Las Vegas. 

No matter What You Do, I encourage you to Do It Well and Enjoy the life you have been given. 

Have A Great Week!

I always Welcome your Feedback
