THE REAL RICH LITTLE
When everyone remembers the great Impersonators names like David Frye, Frank Gorshin come to some of us but the king will always be RICH LITTLE. He could make anyone feel that Carol Channing, Richard Nixon, Ed Sullivan were in the room if you closed your eyes. Today I along with another friend Nueroctic John were able to take advantage of him being in Central Florida with a chance to meet the legend. He was performing at a big venue and with careful questions were able to determine what hotel he was staying at after the show.So after the show we headed to the hotel itself and patiently waited. Now I have mentioned John before and something ALWAYS goes a bit off when he is involved. We saw three people walking along and decided this could be them so I headed towards the back of the hotel but when I got there no one was around. Phone rings and its John but he is not saying anything on where he is.
As I begin to head up front the phone rings again and he is shouting " He is in the Lobby". I started to believe I was in a THREE STOOGES movie. I quickly headed there and there John is telling me that he is in his room but will meet You as soon as You arrive. And sure enough Mr. Little came out chatted for a few minutes, signed our items and thank us for meeting him. This is a true class of a person who appreciates the attention we gave him but the truth was we appreciated him even more in taking a few minutes to answer our requests,Though he has aged over the years he still appears to be young at heart and we walked away feeling quite good to have met the real Rich Little who was as great as they come.
