Quite True, Borderstone . . . w/ one caveat:

I'd add only to that quote:

". . . and to touch"

Perhaps the greatest sheer Entertainer I've witnessed is Sammy Davis Jr. As an Entertainer, his goal was to entertain.

As an Artist, his goal was to Touch. The two marry quite well in capable hands such as his.

Bobby Darin fit that Hand-in-Glove very well, too.

Another wonderful sheer Entertainer I've witnessed is Wayne Newton. Big, Big, Difference.

To me, he Entertains masterfully . . . but does
not Touch.

So, I'd add that caveat . . . but absolutely leave in the Toung Out Thing!!!
