 >one would occasionally come across a
recognizable face ...suddenly and from out  of nowhere<

When I lived in Nashville from the 1950s to the 1970s, it was not unusual to
encounter the likes of well-known entertainers of radio, television, recording
and stage on the streets, sidewalks and in venues unrelated to their trade.
One of my serendipitous moments came when I popped into the Krispy-Kreme
doughnut shop on Lafayette Street in downtown Nashville on a Sunday night in
the late 1960s.  This was in the days before K-K had drive-through windows.
Who should I encounter filling his face with glazed treats but Marty Robbins!
I was ecstatic as he never sang a sorry ballad and had long been one of my
favorite singers.  We exchanged pleasantries and he was just as humble and
gracious as any hero you'd hope to meet.  My family, waiting outside in the
car, was observing all of this through large front windows.  As we regularly
traveled Lafayette Street every Sunday night in those days we began to take
greater interest in donuts.  We found Marty Robbins had similar tastes.  On
several subsequent occasions we hung out together!

Subject:  AFRS: canned applause, but not a laugh

The AFRS used canned applause frequently in some of their classical music 
programs. If there was a movement from a larger work in a program such as 
"Concert Hall" and that movement ended quietly and was not followed by real 
applause, or applause followed after some time had elapsed, they would dub 
in applause. It sounds like it too, like someone is fading up the sound of 
a large audience already clapping enthusiastically. The sound of 
spontaneous applause would begin quite differently, first a few hands 
clapping, then more joining in, until the entire audience is involved.

I don't think I've ever heard an example in an AFRS program where the 
laughter sounded like it had been added.
