Ken Dryden: Piano Jazz Prankster

April Fool's prankster Ken Dryden started one of my favorite hoaxes on April 1, 2007. Namely that Frank Zappa had once been on Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz!

He does quite a good job of making a convincing set list and highlights of their conversations. Apparently he sent her a copy, but she only replied a  letter about another article he'd written for her 90th birthday concert, without mentioning his phony edition of her program.
