First moonwalker Neil Armstrong ‘doing great’ after heart surgery – Cosmic Log
I actually had a chance to shake Neil Armstrong’s hand years ago when I was playing piano in a restaurant. He was there as part of the board of directors of a company (Huck industries, IIRC) and they were having a board meeting/dinner in a private room. On a piano break I went into the room dressed in my tux pretending to be a waiter. I looked around the long table and couldn’t recognize him. This was before the anniversaries and his TV appearances lately. So I missed my chance. I don’t think I would have done it anyway since they were having a board meeting but still… thiiiis close. Little bit of hero worship there, I admit. But hey… Neil Armstrong.
