| “Do you know Leon Lederman*?” asked a tiny, pretty woman, impeccably made up and wearing a pink cowboy outfit. “Leon is one of my favorite people.”
Naomi Judd is a country singer, songwriter, motivational speaker, mother of two famous daughters (singer Wynnona and actress Ashley) — and just all-around full of surprises. She also has her own website (Get a blog, Naomi!), and a lot of zingy one-liners in the book Amazon let me search so I know that I want to buy it. Amazon doesn’t seem to have the CD with “Big Bang Boogie”, which she wrote for Leon, and to which he danced with her onstage at a concert. If I had to make a bet, I would bet that Naomi Judd is one of Leon Lederman’s favorite people too. |

* Leon Lederman, Nobel 1988, is one of my favorite physicists too, and one of the best joketellers I’ve ever met. BTW, in physics circles, you meet some very good joketellers.
