CARL DIXON APPRECIATES HIS GREAT LIFE  

By -

        When I heard that CARL DIXON was performing in a very friendly confine known as HARD ROCK's VELVET SESSION , I truly wanted to see his performance as I did once at the EPCOTS Music Series. Now if You have never had the chance to see him perform and more importantly meet and chat with him, I strongly suggest that You do. He was a wonderful guitarist originally with APRIL WINE and then went on with THE GUESS WHO from 1997 to 2008.

     That's when his life changed. He was involved in a horrific auto accident and as one of his faithful followers said to me  " He had Angels looking after him". He survived and has a voice that expresses Why its great to be alive. His version of the Led Zeppelin tune RAMBLE ON was my highlight as he looked like Robert Plant and hit every note perfectly. He played for almost 3 hours , many of Guess Who's favorites and his voice never seemed to get tired.

      He took the time after to meet and greet his fans at no cost( Which is becoming a rarity) and as I observed made every fan feel special as if he has know them for years. I will as so many of his followers admire this Great Musician as he truly knows what it is like to get a second chance and will share it with the world.

ACTORS JOHN ASHTON and LISA EILBACHER HAVE RESTORED MY FAITH IN HOLLYWOOD

By Unknown -
The Central Florida Film Festival was showing BEVERLY HILLS COP and showing up for a Q&A were John Ashton and Lisa Eilbacher two of the main stars who played along side Eddie Murphy. They sat on stage and spoked candidly about the movie and acting in general. I did not know Slyvester Stallone was the first choice and only John saw the finished project and only once. John spoke passionately that true acting is found on the stage as movies are always in the hands of the editors and Director. Personally never looked at it that way but it makes perfect sense. John mentioned that with several takes the one you might think was your best may end of the cutting floor with the final choice by the Director. Lisa spoke of her famous curls that many talked about and how much fun they all had during filming. Lisa spoke of her role in An Officer and a Gentleman and giving it up to raise a family. Now after the Q&A is when my faith in Hollywood returned. A few of us approach...

SENSELESS KILLING OF SINGER CHRISTINA GRIMMIE

By Unknown -
We were watching the championship Basketball game when breaking news of the shooting of singer Christina Grimmie flashed across the bottom of the screen on one of the local TV stations here in Orlando. Though I was not very familiar with Christina though I did remember her powerful performance in the VOICE competion which she placed a respectful 3rd. What I was truly familiar was the venue where this tragedy happen called the PLAZA LIVE. I have seen many shows there and have met even more acts after with most signing autographs and taking photos with all their different fans. This senseless shooting happened in the lobby with a meet and greet after her show where fans get the opportunity to mingle up close and personal. Most Meet and Greet opportunities can cost an arm and leg and usually is really there for the singers or groups to add more money into their pocket . I do believe Christina did not charge and was only there to thank her fans and show her appreciation to them. Though th...
