HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAHAM NASH

By Unknown -
The legendary band CROSBY ,STILLS and NASH have been performing together since WOODSTOCK and have left a mark on on the music scene like so few before them. Though they still perform occasionally and tour as a group they also perform individually at various venues. One of the local venues had the foresight to book him and with a sold out show he performed a 20 song set and delighted the crowd who love his sound dating back to the HOLLIES. This was a must to get an autograph and meet him after the show with no guarantees that it would happen. I have loved his sound and though I had a ticket to WOODSTOCK (my Mother would not let me go as I was too young at the time but I still have the unused ticket though).
So after the show about 30 people lined up along the fence separating us from his bus and as he entered for a private meet and greet he turned to us said " I will be back". As we all stood patiently trading stories he came out smiling and directly to a the first fans . He took pictures , signed every ones items with may of us wishing him a Happy Birthday which was today to all our delight. He admired Rocket Mans photo and signed my Woodstock piece that my Late Father put together for me . ' " Nice Piece" he said to me and I really believed that he knew that this was special to me by the way he took his time signing it in a small open space left on the board. When he knew he took care of every ones requests, he waved to us all and jumped on the bus leaving for his next stop of the tour. Now I have partied with STEVEN STIILS and survived ( LOL) and met DAVID CROSBY who is the less friendliest of many we have ever met, but I can say that GRAHAM NASH is one of the classiest performers that anyone could and should meet. He deserves many many more Birthdays and I hope he does.

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

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

As millions are THE WALKING DEAD Series is followed like no other show that I can remember and is without a doubt my favorite. Now like many celebrities they only time one gets up and close are at Autograph Shows where people pay for an autograph with their favorite star. Now I can not say I have never paid for an autograph but will never pay for a photo with. About twenty " professional graphers " were prepared at a site that we all know in hopes of meeting many celebs who were attending a one day event that some of us donated money for the survivors of the ORLANDO PULSE NIGHT CLUB SHOOTING. Several started to file by including Director Greg Nictero who though in a rush was pleasant to all. Some harassed LAUEN COHAN who even barked at many "You guys are ridiculous " and signed a few with a Scribble that no one will know in a few years. I did not blame her and many of these graphers should had left her alone. If a celebrity does not want to sign it is that and har
