      They grew up at the end of the era where people entertained themselves. Most were "adequate" players at best, which is fine. The point was to pitch in and have some fun. Not like our world where Stardom is the Goal, and accomplish-ment with your talent doesn't matter. It's where talent is auto-tuned an' lip synched to splash the "Ego of Me" All Over the World, of the hollow Star.

    Art, Sid, and Johnny all grew up in the Vaudeville days. You had to have more than one skill back then. People weren’t just musicians, or comedians, or actors. They were ENTERTAINERS; they did whatever it took to get an audience on their side. Art is the best player of these three, but all three were consummate professionals, from an era long gone and hard to find.

      My greatest memories of youth are of our family reunions at my uncle's farm. It was large, with several buildings, and lots of room for us kids to run. We ate well, listened to music in the bunkhouse and ran around all night. Wish I was 12 again. I really miss those days.

    Pure gold. Sid, Art & Johnny.
    I could sit & listen to the 3 of them just talk for hrs. Today's pretenders would tell you themselves... they don't hold a candle.
    When you think back on these guys... remember the saying: "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened"... 🥲

    What an amazing talent! Not only was Art Carney an amazing comedic actor but an amazing dramatic actor as he won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1974! He seems like a wonderful person , able to make fun of himself and with no ego! A lot of talent on that stage with Sid Cesar and Johnny Carson as well!

    He was only 55 years old in 1973, but he has a good reason for the hearing aid and the limp when he walks. Carney was drafted into the United States Army in 1943[1] as an infantryman and machine gun crewman during World War II. During the Battle of Normandy serving in the 28th Infantry Division,[1] he was wounded in the leg by shrapnel and walked with a limp for the rest of his life. As a result of the injury, his right leg was ¾-inch (2 cm) shorter than his left.[4] Carney was awarded a Purple Heart, the American Campaign Medal, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal, and was discharged as a private in 1945.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

      @peterharrison5833 Год назад +7

      He did. It comes from years of playing piano in bars, lounges, and jazz clubs. It's not so much "arranged" as it's more of a case of knowing the tune in it's entirety--the melody, the chords, the phasing, and the lyrics. Jazz musicians do this all the time. Once a player like that knows a tune, he or she can pretty much do anything they want to do with it spontaneously.

    Art was only 55 yrs. old when this was recorded but looks like he could have been 80. Art did not age well but still lived a pretty long life, he was a natural entertainer you can just see it ooze out of him whether playing music or doing schtick.

    Art Carney was a marvelous man. We used to watch him on the Jackie Gleason show, and thought that was all there was to his art. Boy were we wrong. He was a great actor and musician as well…. And the fabulous Cyd Caesar had all of us laughing for days along with Imagine Coca, and Nanette Fabray. I can remember when Gleeson’s show came on, we were allowed to stay up and watch it, then immediately after ward go to bed.
