James Taylor, Lou Marini, Steve Martin — and King Tut

Friday night we met up with reader Cindy for the James Taylor concert at Tanglewood. It was great fun, even with the hurricane-quality rain. Hey, it makes for a better story if there are trials to be endured (just like a retro renovation project…at times). The band was the best of the best, my music-loving husband told me. He also knew that the saxophone player, Lou Marini, was the same one who popped out of the sarcophagus as King Tut in the famous Steve Martin Saturday Night Live routine. Oh, and to continue the coinkydinks, Steve Martin was the special guest at Prairie Home Companion at Tanglewood in June. “He gave his life for tourism.” Well, that night, at least.
