I guess I didn't mention because I don't know how many- but
when I was 8 or 9 yrs old I played my guitar on TV - for the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
I had a blast. On the back side of the stages were vendors. All the free food and drinks one wanted and I got see how "things" worked for live TV.
I remember getting a hot dog and while eating it two guys on either side of me started tapping and whistling the theme to "My Three Sons"...I looked up and it was Robbie from the show and Sammy Jackson from "No Time For Sergeants". Robbie ask if he could have my hot dog....sure, ...he wiped the mustard off my face and told me to go get my guitar ready at stage 3. (three stages setup)
My teacher was playing backup guitar and when we started the tune she wasn't in tune so I stopped and turned to her to tune up. They cut to the host, which I don't recall and while he explained I had to tune her guitar. She was to nervous. They switched back on my thumbs up and I played the tune. Cool gig that I enjoy recalling.
The first of only two televised so "how many?" ...I'll never know.
I know that a lot of kids at school saw me...I remember taking a lot of teasing about it and was glad when they forgot.
( and I'm having a deja vu or have typed this here before...weird either way me thinks)
