Ice Man Bike Fest

There is a Bike-fest in Leesburg, Florida which has entertainers headlining each day and tonight's was VANILLA ICE {Robert Matthew Van Winkle} the American Rapper who was a big sensation in the 90's with his biggest hit ICE ICE BABY .My son and I decided to try our luck in meeting him and catching the free show. We parked quite a distance away and made our way to the Downtown Square where the concert was to be held. It was crowded and we had to scope out where to go and as luck would have it I approached this fellow and asked Do You have any idea where the Ice Man may be.  His name was Cinderella Sal and it turned out that he was with Vanilla Ice for the past 25 years.  We struck up an instant friendship and told us that he would not be here until 9:45 for the 10 O'clock show, So My son Jon and I had 90 minutes to kill and relax and observe all the people who probably had not seen a big show in their town in many years. Finally  Vanilla Ice shows up at almost 10 signed a couple of autographs and went on stage and played for about an hour. After the show there was about 150 people ,many that had been drinking as if they were fish and he started to sign autographs for this crazy crowd. He is a wonderful signed and does appreciate his fans. Thanks to Sal I passed by pictures to him and he handed them to Vanilla Ice and signed 2 but not the 3rd and I thought maybe he missed it. I gave the picture to my Son who handed it to Ice and apparently he did not like that picture as he turned it over and signed the back of it. I can truly say that was the first time I have ever seen that in all my years. We said good bye and off we went realizing that all the crowd reacted to him like he was a Superstar and thought what would it have been if it were Paul McCartney ( The BEATLES ). Maybe one day but I do not believe it will be at that venue.
