My Dad, a jazz drummer, really liked coming to my gigs, during the holiday season. We had some great times.
My Mom liked hanging out, and I took her to Pavarotti's Chicago Lyric Opera debut as Rodolfo, in La Boheme. I also sang to her, after calling her up to the stage, in front of a packed house of around 500 people. Different gig, not at the Lyric.
