Sometimes I think I have a bit of a "Zelig" thing going... you know, the Woody Allen movie where this character Zelig shows up in all different times in important events in history.  Or maybe it’s more like a Forest Gump thing...

I’ll flesh this stuff out later - but it’s all kind of weird... and totally coincidental.

• I was in the first movie ever made for TV, See How They Run.
• I built the second website for the Smithsonian, their first for a museum.
• In college, I played Hamlet to Marilu Henner’s Gertrude. (big asterisk to come...)
• I played the music of Janis Joplin with Sam Andrew and Snooky Flowers. After Harvey Milk and George Moscone were murdered in SF, we played for an angry crowd at SF City Hall of 100,000 mourners.
• I was in Christopher Hampton’s American debut play, When Did You Last See My Mother.
• I was a model in the 1964 World’s Fair in the Bell Telephone exhibit.
• My father, an actor, was actually IN Zelig...
• I interviewed Leonard Bernstein the summer before he died, in what may have been his last interview. I attended his last concert, and his memorial service, where members of orchestras he's led played the Overture to Candide, without a conductor - like an Air Force maneuver with the "missing man..."

I've been thinking about this a bit more - and in some ways, maybe this is more like Kevin Bacon and the six degrees of separation.  Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody... so if my dad worked with Woody Allen, or I played music with somebody who played music with Janis Joplin, then it just connects me, as everybody is connected to things I care about...
