myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539) 4 years ago

Have you ever met someone famous? If so who were they?
I had the pleasure of partying with the CHarlie Daniels band. Now mind you at the time, I had no idea who this band was. Not until I met my current husband, and he starts playing their awesome music. What a shock, when I found out, that the one offering me free back stage passes was really Charlie Daniels!
I was working at a restaurant, and one of my tables were harmonizing. I couldn't figure out for the life of me who this group was. It was the Manhattan Transfer. I was able to get autographs, and a nice tip to boot.
My husband was working for a security firm one year, and he had to do private duty for two young recording guys. He called me and asked me if I would like to go to a closed door autograph session for the "Nelson Twins". These were Ricky Nelson's boys. What awesome boys they were. Polite, considerate, one looks like Ricky the other more like his mom. THat was a special night.
How about you? Care to share a famous person with us?

The studio for the sopa opera (back when I used to watch them of course)"Another World" used to be in Brooklyn, NY so I met a few of the actors & actresses there. I also met Mookie Wilson from the 1986 NY: Mets & his wife as well.


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

As a child I always wanted to live in New York, so I could brush shoulders with the actors and actresses. You were fortunate. I don't think I remember who Mookie Wilson is.
Thank you for responding. Have a great day.

I have met so many that I can't name them all, I was bought up in an area where the rich and famous live and even had Cliff Richard come and do our school assembly once. It would be like name dropping to say but my girls on their fathers side are related to a famous actor and also a muscian, one of whom I have also met. People are people whether rich or poor or celebrity or not, but it is lovely that you have met so many lovely ones. Ellie :D


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

You were fortunate also to live in an area where you could meet these people.
I agree with you, people are just people no matter who they are, I just thought it would be interesting to see who was fortunate to of met some famous ones.
Thank you for commenting. Great hearing from you. Have a great day.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ellie333 (8050)  4 years ago

I should also add in case you get the wrong impression that I lived on the council estate side of town and am a single parent, but yes lucky to have lived in the area. Remember as a child my dad going to a party with Tom Jones though I myself never met him. Ellie :D


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

Oh my, this is aging me now.....you mention Tom Jones and I automatically see him on stage singing "My My My Deliah". hahaha. Sounds like you lived in a wonderful area.
Thanks so much for responding ellie. Have a great day!

I have met several famous people. I met Gregory Burges who was in Chorus Line the movie (he was my cousin's dance teacher), Loni Anderson (her daughter taught at my high school), Kevin Costner (he visited my high school when he was filming the bodyguard), Michael Jordan and Jason Kidd (they bought coffees from a coffee cart I worked at during a celebrity golf tourney).


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

Sounds like you had a lot of nice meetings also. I always thought Loni Anderson's daughter followed in her mom's footsteps.
My husband worked security for a celebrity golf tourney, and he had told me of some of the rich and famous that he had a chance meeting with.
Thanks for responding. Have a great day!

I saw Nelson in concert once! I have met Mark Patrick, used to be on Hoosier Millionaire and then started doing news. He's a jerk, very rude, and thinks he's too good to talk to you. I also met Bob Gregory(old weather guy, retired) and Chuck Lofton from channel 8 I think. They all came into the McDonalds I worked at when I was younger. Both are really nice and friendly men. I also met the band Slaughter if you know them. They sang Fly To The Angels(most popular song), all of the band members were really nice except the lead singer, go figure!I got all their autographs, I also met the country band Trick Pony, got our pic taken w/them and autographs. I have been onstage with Bon Jovi, got to touch Jon, but no autographs, they wouldn't allow it. That's it for me...


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

Oh it's awesome hearing of your experiences. I had worked at a civic center where there were alot of concerts, and DOlly Parton was performing one night. She is very stand offish, and slightly rude, which I found shocking. To each their own I suppose.
Bon Jovi's grandparents live in Erie, Pa, where we lived for a while. He came there and did a free concert for the whole city, just because. He is so down to earth. Very nice man.
Thanks so much for responding. Have a great day!


myLot reputation of 95/100. CinderInMySoul (4337)  4 years ago

wow, Dolly Parton was rude?! i would be shocked too, since she seems like one of the last ppl on the planet who would ever be rude to anybody!

I live in New Orleans. A couple of years ago Lindsay Lohan came to party at a bar that I always hang out at so I got to meet her. Then at a Pat Green concert I met Drew Brees, quarterback of Saints, and Sean Payton, head coach of Saints. Both of those were really cool experiences.


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

Heck just to live in New Orleans would be a grand experience. To be able to hear all the music.
Sounds like you did have some cool experiences with these people.
Thanks for responding. Have a great day!

Years ago I worked in Washington DC at a huge corporate headquarters. One day i was in the lobby and just missed the elevator. As the doors were closing, I saw Paul Newman in the elevator. Missed riding upstairs with him by about a minute. So I guess I didn't meet him, it was more of a close encounter haha. whit


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

Hey whit, a close encounter works just a well! Man Paul Newman. That is one I'd love to have a close encounter with myself! :) hmmmmmmm...

I've been to Fanfare in Nashville a couple of times. It's a Country Music festival that goes on for 4 days and every day there are different shows and meet and greets with a lot of the singers. I have quite a few autographed pictures and pictures of myself with some of my favorites. I also had a small conversation with Prince one day when I was visiting my daughter who lived in Hollywood at the time.


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

I love most types of music, and country music is right up there. That festival sounds like it was interesting.
Prince? for some reason, of all the more pop type artists, he amazes me. I really like him. My husband and I were just talking about him the other day. How awesome that you got to actually talk with him
Thank you so much for commenting. Have a great day!

I don't know who all listens to Southern Gospel Music, but if you do, then you've heard of the Crabb Family, Karen Peck and New River, Squire Parsons, or perhaps, even Marty Raybon, the former lead singer of Shenandoah. I have met all of the above and they are very nice people. I've been to two concerts from Squire Parsons and Marty Raybon. I have been to one concert from the Crabb Family and about two or three from Karen Peck. You would love it if you ever heard them sing.


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

I love listening to Southern Gospel, and I love singing along with it also. That is as long as I am in my own house singing. Sounds like you have had a lot of interesting experiences with meeting these people. My mother in law introduced to me the Southern Gospel music and it has stuck with me.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. You have a great day!

9. myLot reputation of 95/100. CinderInMySoul (4337)   4 years ago

ive only personally met 2 famous ppl. the first was Fess Parker who played Daniel Boon...i was working at the trucking company that he was using to have some work done at his vineyard. he was very nice, funny and smiled the whole time.

the second famous person was Peter Fonda..met him at a Love Ride rally, he was handsome and a cool guy lol!

i have gotten within touching distance of Jon Bon Jovi at a Stevie Nicks concert once! that was cool, if i would have reached my arm out i could have grabbed his arm, course his bodyguard kind of quelled that urge LOL!


myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

Wow Fess Parker huh? He was such a great person. I always remember Peter Fonda playing opposite of Ann Margaret in movies.
Isn't it irritating when you are that close to someone and you can't just reach out. When I worked at the civic center, Kenny G was there, I had closed the area down where I worked, and had gone into the audience. Well all of a sudden a path was made right in front of me, and I could figure out why. He had gone right thru the lobby, thru the audience of well over 5000 people, and stopped, right in front of me. Only thing between us was his instrument. By that I mean his flute. And he stayed there about 10 minutes just playing. I couldn't reach out as, like for you, the bodyguard stopped that.
Thank you so much for commenting. Have a great day!

myLot reputation of 75/100. PamE53 (1539)  4 years ago

Oh that is awesome! It's cool when you really get to rub elbows with celebrities. Grant it they are just like we are, but it's something about meeting one.
THanks for responding. Have a great day!
