This is the day Jerry met Mitchell Parish. In fact, he paid for the legend to limo out to the Garden for the visit. Dennis ( McNally 2005, 102): "One of the times I was most impressed with him was when he met the celebrated lyricist Mitchell Parish, the man who'd written 'Stardust,' 'Stars Fell On Alabama,' 'Sophisticated Lady,' and 'Moonlight Serenade' - the real deal. ... He and Jerry started raving about the old songs, ... and Jerry matched him tune for tune. ... The room was so packed that the Vice President of Arista, in a $2,000 suit, was sitting on the floor, but it was quiet, and everybody just listened to this amazing conversation."
