And for autographed picks, I have a Glenn Kaiser, the guy from Whitecross/King James, and a yellow pick from Sun Studios with the Sun logo on it that a friend brought back from Nashville for me. But my prize is a small piece of wire from an ancient tweed Twin that belonged to a guy I know. The amp had Leo Fender's name written inside of it, and I don't know if he built it or not, but it's close enough for me. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else.

Shoes Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Originally posted by billster: I have a bunch of cancelled checks with my signature on them. Better than the ones I have with somebody else's signature and this Refused for Insufficient Funds stamp on them! I mentioned before that I have Hoyt Axton's LP Custom (not that I knew who he was when I bought it) Les Paul autographed the pickguard on my '72 goldtop. Can't say many people drop by my way too often and I'm a shut-in, hermit, cave dweller so there's little chance of contaminating the masses with my presence. I still think guitars are like shoes, but louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihategarybettman Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 I used to work at the local Hilton and I've seen a lot of live shows, so I've gotten to meet many celebs, but I'm not really an autograph collector. However, I do have a few: I had Max Weinberg sign my copy of a book he wrote on his drumming influences called "The Big Beat"; I caught a pick at the last Buddy Guy show I went to; I've had the Paladins and Little Charlie and the Nightcats sign CDs I bought at their shows; I spent a half hour talking to Bryan Adams about leather jackets (not an autograph story, and I'm not a fan of his music, but he was such an incredibly nice guy); and I once went backstage to meet Los Lobos, who not only signed a CD and a hat, they offered me a beer. What was great about meeting some of the famous people I've run across is discovering how many of them were truly terrific, down-to-earth people (I've run into jerks too, but I try not to think about them).

skipclone 1 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 It`s not my thing really, but I do have an autograph from the guitarist (one of two I think) of a German band called Silent Force anyone know about these guys? I don`t know their music but this guy played like a maniac, heard him at a music fair. Very nice person too.

Mark Zeger Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 Somewhere in a box in my basement, there's a old Ticketron envelope autographed after a Weather Report concert by Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, and Jaco Pastorius. I have a few autographed albums but the coolest is a Robert Rauschenberg edition of Talking Heads' "Speaking In Tongues". The band had never seen a copy of it it before signing my copy.

Chad Thorne Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Originally posted by bpark@prorec.com: "Gotta love the lineupfor that show " That actually is one of the things that irritates me today. I could turn on the radio and hear Santana, with Judy Collins, Bowie, The Turtles, Hendrix, Miles Davis, and Cream all on the same radio station in the same hour... BillOf course, that was also the era when DJs were openly smoking dope on the air. There may have been a correlation... I remember and miss those days as well. Closest we get is the University of Maine station, WMPG (an NPR affiliate) which has various shows devoted to various genres. Not too much genre-blending within a show, though.

DC Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Okay, this is kinda weird, but I was once married to an English girl who grew up in London. Her older cousin worked in a hotel and got her a piece of paper with ALL FOUR of The Beatles autographs on it. SHE LOST IT IN A MOVE!!!!

whitefang Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I have some good shots of Chuck Berry from '87 when he played Detroit's Hart Plaza for the old Grand Prix we used to run. And my oldest daughter's boyfriend(at the time)worked moving gear around at Chene Park and copped me an autograph from B. B. King. Unfortunately, I haven't the means to post them.

gtrmac Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Les Paul signed the pickguard on my Les Paul. I met him through one of his friends who was an engineer at a studio I worked at. I got to hang out with Les when he came to the studio once for a party. I gave him a tour of the studio and man he asked me all kinds of technical questions! I also went to his birthday party at the Iridium one year and Jeff Beck, Al Dimeola and Bucky Pizzerelli were there. I was wearing a suit and somebody asked me for my autograph. The woman though I was Eric Clapton I think, I look a little bit like him I guess. Maybe I shoulda just signed one for her! Mac Bowne G-Clef Acoustics Ltd.

fantasticsound Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 So now we've morphed into photos, eh? I mentioned the Garth Brooks photo already. You remember this one, right guys and gals? http://members.aol.com/dandee/MeGene.jpg I had Opry star, Mike Snider, snap a pic of me with Chet Atkins backstage at the Opry. One with Charlie Collins who played guitar in Roy Acuff's band for many years. I know I have others, but can't... remember... (Brain freeze. ) It's easiest to find me on Facebook.

tahitijack Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I've had the good fortune to meet a lot of players. My favorite is Lauwrence Juber (autographed cd's) and easy to talk with. A couple of years ago got autographs and photo taken with Billy and Cal (Jr) Ripkin. Spent about an hour taling baseball one on one with Billy and about 10 minutes with Cal Jr. I will never foreget it. Class like you may not see again.
