All's I'm sayin' is that Williams played as recently as last Spring at the Reagan Library, so he COULD'a played for this guy.
I doubt it was Williams that declined to play.
This guy likely would never even THINK of issuing an invitation to Williams.

Not a huge Dean fan, but I can listen to Ludo for hours. To think I took piano lessons for years and they never taught anything like this

No, I guess I didn't, or maybe I forgot. That restaurant in the background was filled with our wedding reception crowd, and we were dodging the ramp traffic to get over there. Right at sunset there were a heck of a lot of boats coming in. I can verify that Ford is the boat tow vehicle of choice in So Cal.

It was. They do a lot of them, and they've got it down pat. The ceremony was at their gazebo on the back bay lagoon area, and then it was a 75 yard walk over to the restaurant. Unfortunately you have to walk across the boat ramp apron, but I guess that adds character.
I was there last weekend for final arrangements, and there was a huge boat being washed out. Didn't have a camera on me, but it was being pulled by a fully matching paint F650, so that gives you an idea of the size. The F650 looked small.
