Anybody else have a brush with fame?
Brush with fame? Musical or nonmusical?
Back in the eighties, I had Heinekens withElizabeth Taylor in her living room one evening.
When I was a kid living in Rome Italy, a classmate had his singlemother get her boyfriend at the time to take us to the movies.
He showed up at our house…it wasRobert Wagner.

Alas, my on,y brushwith fame not counting the time Greg Lake told me to get away from him afterseeking an autograph from the Works I tour.
I once slammed Wes Montgomery's hand in one of thoseold self-serve elevators at an amp repair place on 48th St. in NY. He wasreasonably nice about it. I was totally freaked out thinking I might have endedhis career.
I also spent an afternoon with Eric Clapton at AudioSpeaker Techniques down near Canal Street. We were both getting speakersre-coned. His were also stamped "Cream" and since he had a beard (andI hadn't seen him with a beard), I thought he was one of the band's roadiesuntil 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 thattour.
I also caddied for Ed Sullivan, and my wife hitRichard Nixon in the head with a rather heavy door. She was going in as he wasreaching for the doorknob on his side.
