@LeavesNoTrace reminds me that Tommy Lasorda was a guest when I waited tables at a high-end restaurant in a medium-sized city. It might have been 1981, the year the Dodgers won the World Series.
The conductor of the local symphony, Semyon Bychkov, was a regular customer. It was his first position with an orchestra.
Looking at Wikipedia, I see he has gone on to conduct the New York Philharmonic, the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Orchestre de Paris, the Saint Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the BBC Symphony.
Also the Royal Opera in London, the Paris Opera, the Metropolitan, the Vienna Opera and La Scala.
He liked cigars but he was good enough to only smoke them late after the restaurant was about empty.
