SOME DO IT WITH A SMILE AND OTHERS NEVER FIND IT

By -


       I along with a couple of friends were able to get lucky and get up close with several sport stars that were playing in a charity golf game and were not sure what to expect. It turned out to be a long but fun day sharing stories with new friends who have the similar hobby of selling and a few that would sell . With great weather the first and truthfully  the first to come thru and the ONLY star that would not sign an autograph.

      MARCUS ALLEN refuses to sign as he has appears that he will only sell his autograph because this is the 2nd experience of refusal and all the other graphers only had words that I will not type as this is his common practice. But after him ALL stopped and took the time to sign including Olympic Hocket star MIKE EURIZONE, the great picture and future Hall of Famer JOHN SMOLTZ, Football HOF RICHARD DENT ,Baseball players KENNY ROGERS, JOHNNY DAMON,RAY LANKFORD, CY Young Winner FRANK VIOLA and many more including members of the rock Band CREED with everyone smiling and thanking us for being there.

       The Great stars all were coming in last  including ERIC DICKERSON who even took a stat sheet from his great 2000 yard season because he stated" I have never really looked at this before" . I truly did not mind giving it to him. Now the next two were no other than REGGIE JACKSON and ROGER CLEMENS.As a NEW YORK YANKEE fan growing up they were two of my favorites and the opportunity to meet them was priceless to me. Reggie hesitated at first and then signed down the line and never smiled once. I even gave him a one of a kind picture that My brother took at a game and showed no emotion when I told him the story and it was for my brother also. I know I should be happy but he never showed once ounce of emotion to anyone . Now Roger also hesitated and started to sign but stopped after only a few. If not for the kindness of the golf pro telling us to give the items to him and he will get it signed and to pick them up at the clubhouse. We all realize that many of these great stars are harassed to sign this and that and it truly looked that it has taken a toll on these great players . Maybe and could be very possible that they just want to be left along. Though I probably will not be meeting them in the near future, I still came away feeling very well with the results in my fine hobby.

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...
