When Mark Met Mel

​Okay, it's that time of year again -- go to my pal Mark Evanier's blog and read his tremendous, annual story that he just posted again about crossing paths with longtime popular singer Mel Tormé (co-writer, as well, of "The Christmas Song" -- you know: "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...") at the Farmers Market a couple decades ago.  Even if you've read it before, often, it remains a glorious tale and exquisitely told.)  And I like it all the more because my mother went to high school with Mel Tormé.  And because I worked with him once on Naked Gun 2-1/2, I got the chance to finally talk about it with him.

Anyway, you can find Mark's story here.
