Back in the late 60s early 70s my step-dad co-owned a nightclub in Santa Monica. Jim Nabors and a host of others were regulars, honing various crafts. For Mr. Nabors it was his stand-up and his singing. My step-dad was in awe of his voice (my mom had been a professional singer in the 50s and 60s - music was, and remains, a huge part of our lives). I got to meet Mr. Nabors when I was 11, he was one of the nicest, kindest people I ever met. He was courteous, and always had a warm greeting. Over the years he gifted my step-dad with several of his albums which played in our home until my mom died in 2005. RIP Mr. Jim Nabors.
