@ coelacanth∅ - He hid it to be able to play music to a bigger audience. He also had to conceal the fact that he was gay. Lonely housewives were hot for him because his afternoon show in Channel 5 in Los Angeles in the 1950s.

reserve the taxi by cab to airport .com or something before the plight. once your flight touch down at istanbul to text them to dispatch cab to the airport. incoming to instabul is pretty bad.
