Apparently that's how it works now Bill. Obviously, all you need is to see someone on YouTube and that makes you friends. My neighbor took lessons from Louie Bellson in the 60's and Bellson was married to Pearl Bailey who starred in Hello, Dolly with Cab Calloway who appeared in the Blues Brothers with Carrie Fisher who was in Star Wars with Harrison Ford who was under the direction of George Lucas in Indiana Jones where the score was composed by John Williams. So, yeah, John Williams and I are pals. I'll post some videos of him later.
Sorry for my lame attempt to be funny/sarcastic but if I had nickel for every time I've heard a kid say they're friends with Mac, Delucia, Float, Rennick or Hannum just because they saw a clinic with them I could retire.
