Anybody else have a brush with fame?

 

 

Brush with fame?  Musical or non musical?

 

Back in the eighties, I had Heinekens with Elizabeth Taylor in her living
room one evening.

 

When I was a kid living in Rome Italy, a classmate had his single mother get
her boyfriend at the time to take us to the movies.

He showed up at our house.it was Robert Wagner.

Alas, my on,y brush with fame not counting the time Greg Lake told me to get
away from him after seeking an autograph from the Works I tour.

 

I once slammed Wes Montgomery's hand in one of those old self-serve
elevators at an amp repair place on 48th St. in NY. He was reasonably nice
about it. I was totally freaked out thinking I might have ended his career.

 

I also spent an afternoon with Eric Clapton at Audio Speaker Techniques down
near Canal Street. We were both getting speakers re-coned. His were also
stamped "Cream" and since he had a beard (and I hadn't seen him with a
beard), I thought he was one of the band's roadies until about 5 minutes
before I left. He was hanging around with Tony (the owner) because he
couldn't stand being around Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker anymore that tour.

 

I also caddied for Ed Sullivan, and my wife hit Richard Nixon in the head
with a rather heavy door. She was going in as he was reaching for the
doorknob on his side.
