SUMMARY OF TALK
Gil Chimes started performing with his father at age six. He is an expert harmonica player and plays the drums. He became so expert and so famous that he performed with Frank Sinatra and three Presidents. They play at weddings and other family occasions. His father was invited to join a Rotary Club in Mt Vernon where they lived. Unfortunately live music is a dead industry. He loves live music, some from orchestras. As a Rotarian he made up missed meetings in France and Italy. He played a few notes on a hand-held harmonica for Elinor. We wish we had asked him to play a few songs.
