SINGERS DON MCLEAN AND JUDY COLLINS ARE AS GOOD AS AMERICAN PIE
It is not everyday you can meet 2 singing legends in one day no less in one night. But it happened tonight.
Judy Collins and Don McLean were performing on the same bill and though my friends Schoolboy and John and I traveled about an hour we were only hoping for the best. And that is what we got.
Ms COLLINS was the lead act and usually leaves after her number is finished, so we positioned ourselves where we felt she one leave. As we waited a gentleman approached us and saw that we were hoping to get the albums we had brought to be signed and was so helpful that he informed and arranged to have it done. As we waited another patron struck up a conversation that he came from Atlanta just to hear her . Paying it forward Schoolboy even gave him an extra album for he to gave and get signed. Now I have met Ms COLLINS before and the experience was not one of my favorites but this time she was so pleasant signing and taking pictures with us all. Now the gentleman we met which we thought was the manager turned out to be the OWNER. He was terrific and after Don McLean finished his set with AMERICAN PIE , he took us backstage to meet Don with what we saw were the only fans to get his autograph. Don came and sat at a table never flinching as he signed all our items in the perfect places as he must have done thousands of times before. Though he turned down our request for a picture with, we were amazed how well everything went all night. As I finished this blog I can only think and will believe that Schoolboys act of paying forward made everything so perfect for what we thought might have been a tough night into a memorable one.
