This is not BS! :-)

Well, I didn't realize till now, that I had a Brush with Greatness.

Several years ago, Paul Pena and Kongor-Ol Ondar were in Nashville for something or other, I don't even remember now. I think it was a TV taping. A friend of mine was doing some publicity work for them and she said, come along, we're going to a show and then to dinner. Paul's going to need a guide, though, can you do that?

Well, sure, I said.

We had a big time. I didn't know who he was, just that he was accompanying this sweet little man from Mongolia who could do this interesting style of singing.

How about that.

I saw Kongor-Ol on the Letterman show awhile back. It's very fascinating what he can do.
