Re: Have you met anyone famous?
Met and/or am in touch with: Dick Dale, Steven Segal, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Walton, Chuck Norris, Tim Conway, Albert Lee, Seymour Duncan, Stephen Stills (Jerk!), David Crosby (Nice Guy!), Stevie Ray Vaughn and Donnie Osmond (I sat between them at a Clapton Concert), Bob Cowsill (Great guy, singer, and player), Gary and Kevin from REO Speedwagon (sat next to them at Laker Games), Lowell George (met him on a golf course), and Chet Atkins.
Played with: Buddy Emmons at 1999 Summer NAMM in Nashville; Barry Gibson (President, Burns of London), ex Belair/Packards Paul Johnson, and Will Ray.
In 1968, I caught a ride back to school from pre-Marshall Tucker Toy Caldwell. I ended up doing a few gigs with his band "The Toy Factory". A fantastic musician. You only got a hint of what he was capable of on record because he never "overplayed". No pick-he played with his thumb!
