| Of all the things I got to see and do while at the IAJE convention, this has got to be the highlight. Here is Mr. Artie Shaw (and some guy interviewing him). I didn't even realize he was still alive! (If you don't know who he is, look him up. He's a great part of jazz history.) |
| I went to this panel called "Personal Best-- An Interview with Artie Shaw" thinking I was going to learn about the man's life and music etc from a video or speaker or something. Then, some dude says, "It is my great pleasure to introduce to you... Artie Shaw." |
| After the interview (which proved Artie to be a very funny, though very cynical, old man), everyone rushed to meet him. I was sitting in the very front of everyone because they ran out of seats, so I was one of the first up there. Right before this picture was shot, he was saying "What's going on? Where am I looking?" because there was so much chaos up there. :) |
