Saw him in his Twain show many years ago. Remarkable job. You could easily imagine you were in a time machine.

I too saw him in "Mark Twain Tonight" back in the 60s on a stage here in Pittsburgh. It was a night in the theater that I've never forgotten.

Another great one gone.

Oh, no. I loved him, one of my favorites. Yes to Mark Twain, but I am struggling to think of any role he didn't excel in.
