What artists are you privileged to have seen in your lifetime?
When I was young, my grandfather told me stories of famous people he had been privileged to see perform in his lifetime, which included the three DiMaggio brothers, Dominic, Vince and Joe who at one time were all playing for the San Francisco Seals. Which athletes, artists, musicians, actors or writers (or others) do you consider have enriched your life with their art and you consider yourself privileged to have seen?
Mine:
Willie Mays and Rickey Henderson (baseball)
Herb Caen (columnist for the SF Chronicle)
Cary Grant and Greer Garson (film)
Music:
The Beatles
Roger McGuinn
Jerry Garcia
Peter Green
Paul Kantner

@Byrdsfan
Your question was not clear:
"Which athletes, artists, musicians, actors or writers (or others) do you consider have enriched your life with their art and you consider yourself privileged to have seen?"
I think you are holding out on us. I just started a new series titled "Newsroom" and there was Kathleen (aka Emily Mortimer). She's the one sitting and wearing a white blouse.

@Byrdsfan I got to see him perform when I was stationed at Ft. Meade, MD. I don't remember the venue any longer, but it couldn't have been too far away. After Ft. Meade I was sent to Germany and I remember hearing that he died.
@Byrdsfan Wolf Trap does sound right. I was in Augsburg in the early 80's as a single soldier. I got married and got out of the Army, and then in '85 we went to Stuttgart. My ex stayed in for his 20 years.
