Anyone here ever gotten an autograph from somebody famous?

bbchris

I've got:

1. 'Bond' - the 4 trendy girls who play classical pop.

2. Ronnie Corbett - a very short British comedian

3. Colin Hay - solo artist, who used to be in some Australian band called Men at work

Nobody really famous.

I know Jeff Stoll has a ton of autographs, this post is just to tempt him to tell us who he's got! hahahahahahhaahha

15 years ago my Mom

worked in a very fine hotel-bar in Frankfurt/Germany as the club manager.

The dress code for the club said 'ties' required.

Eric Clapton entered the club with his whole band in Jeans, no ties and wrong shoes (gym shoes).

So my mom

told the guys to go away rather quick, not knowing who she sent away

An hour later Eric and band showed up in ties... all were laughing and of course my mom

told Eric about her son who tries to play guitar over some champagne... so he gave her a cool signed picture of him with some personal writings for me

I have Sting's - on a matchbook cover...

He once visted a Club I used to manage in Old Montreal....

My bass player has John Lennon's... I think his older brother got it somehow when he did "Give Peace a Chance" at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel....

I'm pretty sure it's worth a few drachmas by now...

I have one from Bill Gates on a old DOS v3.1 manual

I met him many years ago along with the founder of Lotus123 at a venture capital meeting in Bellevue Wa. I think it was in 84?

Believe it or not:

Paul McCartney and Julian Lennon.

It was in '94 when I've been in London the twentieth time. We had a "Beatles day" and visited such places as Marlybone Station, Saville Road, Abbey Road Studios, etc.

We also took a look at Mr.McCartneys Puplishing Limited. (Just the outside!) And quite by chance they both came out of the door. I got the autographs on my "one day travellers card".

I have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's autograph on an unused ticket from the game where he broke Wilt Chamberlain's all-time scoring record. I also have Sandy Koufax's autograph that I personally got at a baseball card convention. And I also have a business card with former President Ronald Reagan's autograph. I have many more !!!

We've got:

Harry Chapin sent us a thank you note, and, Luci got a kiss from him, for working on one of his food drives.

Ben Vereen set us a nice thank you note, and, a "Tip" for doing a graphics project for him. Along with the note came a pair of $200each ringside tickets for one of his shows, and, he came over and shook our hands..The tip was worth a lot more then the work he paid for...it was a tiny job!

Not really autographs, but, we used to get a Christmas card every year from the White House. We had one from every year Carter and Reagan held the office.

I got a set of cufflinks from Johnny Mathis, from playing drums on one of his shows...He gives them to every sideman, as a thank you momento

I got a nice signed thank you note from Charles Kuralt (when he was a correspondent for CBS News).

Also, no signature, but I got to shake Dizzy Gillespie's hand and chat with him for a few moments backstage at a gig once. I was in college, so I got all nervous and didn't have much to say, but I tried!
