DANNY GANS

DANNY GANS died at home in his sleep last night. he was the biggest name in vegas even if he wasn't known nationwide. for those of you who don't know who he was, his act was musical impressions of all the greats, sinatra, presley, cole, armstrong and some of the current singers. apparently (i never saw his show) he was a fabulous entertainer and, by all reports, a good guy. there was never a hint of scandal attached to his name. in his last performance he changed the ending from APPOLO to bobby darin's closer, THE FINAL CURTAIN. here are the final stanza of that song and it one that i would wish they would play at my funeral.

"your cheers and laughter will linger after
they have torn down these dusty walls
people say i was made for this
nothing else would i trade for this
and just think i am paid for this

goodnight ladies and gentlemen and God love you all"

rest in peace, danny
