Sid Laverents

Sid Laverents' One-Man Band Act at Age 90 - Audition Tape Outtakes

As a young man, he had a One-Man Band act, which he periodically revived at various stages of his life. You can see him doing this act at a somewhat younger age in his biography film "The Sid Saga." But here is presumably his last shot at glory with this act- an audition tape for The Fabulous Palm Springs Follies, a variety show in Palm Springs featuring performers over the age of 55.
