 This is Rick Springfield outside the Roanoke Civic Center 1983, signing an autograph for me on a Teen magazine from 1972. He smiled and said, "Oh! I remember posing for this!" |
 This is backstage at the Roanoke Civic Center 1985 for the Tao tour. I skipped school in 1982 and 1983 to see him, but graduating in 1984, I skipped the guilt trip this time. |
In 1985, I saw and got back stage to see The Mary Jane Girls. I took pictures of each of the girls (Candice, Maxi, and Corvette - JoJo was ill and not present), but these pics did not develop. I kissed Corvette on the cheek. All girls were very nice and polite. |
 Lynchburg, Va, City Stadium, 1986. The radio station I worked for had a day out, and I met this girl that I flipped for (in the center) and dressed up in a chicken outfit for the pic. Don O'Brien (afternoon drive) is the lion. |

 Getting to see The Monkees in 1986 was a real thrill for me. Meeting Micky Dolenz was a bit of a let down, since he was my favorite. He was more interested in getting in and getting out than he was talking with his fans. |
 Davy wasn't ready for the first pic... |
 Now he's ready... something goofy happened with the film, and these two pics didn't come out. |
 Peter was the most down the earth of the three, and spent a couple minutes talking with me. I told him I auditioned for "The New Monkees" but didn't make the cut. He said, "Yeah, you and about 4,000 other people." |
 This is the Arista Rep that was responsible for getting me backstage at The Monkees show (Roanoke Coliseum). I don't remember her name, but I will be forever grateful. |
 circa 1987, Craig Chaquico is on the left, and Grace Slick on the right. She wasn't ready for the picture, and was very considerate about taking another shot, but I was too intimidated by her presence to allow for another picture.. |
 Joseph Pope of The Tams dropped by WCHV in 1990. |
 Meeting Don Imus was another thrill (1990). He's rough around the edges, but a nice guy at heart. |

 Ray Peterson and I were friends for 10 years, until he passed away January 25, 2005. He was The Golden Voice of Rock and Roll. |
