Well all, here's my tale...
I bumped into -actually he bumped into me - Randy Bachman
of BTO at the Holiday Inn in Chicago. He was in a grumpy mood that night-
Sheesh! My friend was the food and beverage mgr. there summer 1975.
In 1977, I met the guy who did the costumes for Kiss (before you were
allowed to see them without make-up) and spent the weekend with him, got to
see and meet Kiss (sans make-up) and sit in on a soundcheck, and go to the
concert.
MKE had a folk/coffe house that supported many famous musicians that
came through town- Tom Rush, and Richard Thompson and a ton of others that
I met and saw perform. I particularly liked James Lee Stanley. I met him
several times and he always cracked me up, and was so friendly.
In the late 80's when they filmed Major League in MKE, I met Corbin
Bernsen and Charlie Sheen- they rented videos at the store I worked at
part-time.
I also met someone who was on the crew for the Blues Bros. movie, but he
could not get me on the set. They mainly did the 'car flying off the
freeway scenes' in MKE.
But NONE of them par up to the goddess...
LOL!
