Birth year / age ?
[edit]CaptainEntropy wrote somewhere :
" Is this the same Randy Kerber who appeared with the Don Ellis Orchestra live at Montreux ? If so, he has two recordings with that band:
Kerber is listed under "personnel" in both articles, the link leads to the page you created.
" The whole Montreux concert has been posted to YouTube, including a performance of "Lyra" featuring Kerber on piano which did not get released on the original album, but was included in the CD reissue.
" In the concert video (recorded in 1978) he refers to Randy Kerber as being 18 years old, which does not quite jibe with the claim that he toured with Bette Midler in 1977 aged 19. Perhaps Don got it wrong, or perhaps RK lied about his age to go on tour. ;) I tried to find other info online to definitely establish the identity of the two Randy Kerbers but came up short; both are from the LA area originally and were born about the same time, classically trained, and great pianists. Seems too much to ask of coincidence."
- As you can see in the page history, i did not have much on him when i created the page. I see that i did put a date of birth, and a reference to the IMDB page of him. Returning to that web site, i see that his date of birth is there, which is probably where i picked it up. Since then, a user "Courtslusser" has made several edits here, with no other WP work before or since. Interestingly, Kerber's bio at IMDB reads the exact same than this WP article, and is credited to a "Randy Kerber". I cannot help but wonder if User:Courtslusser was Kerber himself. At any rate, i am puzzled at why user Courtslusser, whoever s/he is, removed my credit of Kerber as a studio musician for French singer Renaud in his mid-80s album Morgane de toi. A bad experience, a painful memory, or something to not brag about ? --Jerome Potts (talk) 17:35, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
