Well-Worth Reading

If you haven't read it -- or even if you have -- here is Mark Evanier's glorious tale about his crossing paths with Mel Tormé, who co-wrote "The Christmas Song."  I love this story for two reasons:  one is that's it's so wonderful and told so beautifully.  And the other is that my mother went to high school in Chicago with Mel Tormé, at Hyde Park High.  (I got to tell him this personally when he had a cameo appearance in the movie Naked Gun 2-1/2 that I was working on.)  You can find the story here.
