Meeting one of the Greats
I have always been a fan of PROCOL HAREM in the early years seeing them for the first time in NYC many years ago and always admired the Great Guitarist ROBIN TROWER. When he went on to his solo career one of the great albums of all time BRIDGE OF SIGHS with the haunting sound of his great talent. He was playing at a local venue and the thought of meeting again motivated me to get there a earlier which paid off. Being the only one there , I love that time as You can reflect on Life itself and realize some of the good things we have on a every day plan. The alone time is a great form of meditating and just relaxing. He pulled up in a SUV van with the members of his band and his manager and was as pleasant as ca be. We chatted for a few with his great English accent, took some pictures and was as friendly as anyone could be. After the show I was told he took the time and signed for those waiting which almost numbered a hundred with no complaints. He is nearing 70( Will be in March) and still has the hands, the music talent and charisma of the early days. Its nice to see some things You can count on and Robin Trower is as true as they come.
