PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN WITH LEE GREENWOOD

By -


Jon and I took a  nice ride to see the everlasting LEE GREENWOOD perform at a small venue near Ocala and world recognized for his moving ballad " GOD BLESS THE USA".This was I believe the  first time performed in a the small but cozy venue in Weirsdale, I had to get the chance to meet him . I had the opportunity to catch his show many years ago but did not have a meet and greet afterwards as he was coming down with the flu.

    After a terrific performance, several people got in line and patiently took their turns to have something signed and a photo to boot with him. We were the only ones with Vinyl or LPs as we still call them and when we approached his eyes light up like the morning sun when we placed them on the table. He told us that one of them we had was the only album he did not have a beard. Spoke about another that it was the only caricature picture cover and really took the time to admire them. Another album he spoke that his good friend PATRICK DUFFY of DALLAS fame helped him out with many of the songs and told us repeating how much he appreciated these albums and us being fans. He was terrific with us and all the fans that came up to him and never hesitated knowing he was not going to have too much time to relax before the next show. He is a true soul who does appreciate being an AMERICAN and we all left with a bit of being very proud to be also plus to have shared a few great moments with this great star.

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...
