And old enough to be her father! I used to go see Les and his group
play at the Penthouse in Seattle when I was a freshman at the U of W.
On a Saturday afternoon matinée he had a guest comic that was doing a
show in town, Bill Cosby, come in and riff with him. Les was actually
better at improvising comedy than Cos. They also did a show later in
the evening after Cosby's evening show. Quite an experience.
