Since all the gear was working just fine at the moment, I was killing time standing behind a cameraman watching Chubby Checker sing and gyrate through the number he was rehearsing for the show that night. This was before the days of video tape, BTW, so the show was going out live. As he finished I glanced over towards the folding bleacher seats that had been set up for the audience and there was Annette sitting a few rows up in the middle of the bleachers all by herself. I smiled at her and she smiled back, if not with a come-hither look, at least with one that was friendly. As I started to work my way over in her direction, two burly guys with no necks and wearing black suits, who these days one would easily identify with the "Sopranos," appeared out of nowhere and simultaneously shot me looks that clearly said go-thither *NOW.* Stopped me in my tracks they did. I glanced over at Annette and, with a slight shrug she showed me a rueful, what are ya' gonna do, kinda smile. I quickly returned to my position behind the cameraman. End of my encounter with Annette. She was really one cute gal in person, BTW. Regards, Dick P.S. I've told this story so often I've lost track of who I've told it to. So, if you've heard it before, my apologies in advance.
