He had to tell Lee, "You have the next line. It doesn't help to look at me, you've got to read the line"!!!!!!!!1

(70,671 posts)Who knows how well he actually played, you've got to be good to act it bad. I was looking at YouTubes and there's a Larry KING about Liberace, with Phyllis DILLER (who plays classical piano) and Debbie REYNOLDS, and they both said Lee was not a great pianist, just an entertainer.
We had a band director who would say after brief tune-ups, "That's close enough for jazz" (we weren't playing jazz).
Jack Benny was such a sweetheart (no other word for it, or somebody tell me if there is) .
