I've met so many celebrities. I've met all the Osmond's, except for Alan. They're all really nice folks. Merrill actually sang to me as he was approaching me, granted I was the only one there waiting for the Osmond Brothers' arrival. Ha! And I remember how impressed my dad was when I was able to meet Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York and obtained a hand-signed postcard-sized color photo of her. I was able to take a couple of close snapshots of her and also shook her hand. Needless to say, there were SWAT Team members all around her for security. And my first time attending a Monkees concert during their 30th Anniversary Tour, I was able to obtain a Backstage Pass after the show. I'd never tried to do this...had never crossed my mind, but that was a BIG thrill!!

Among my favorite "group" signed items is a Tour book of the Osmond Brothers with the photos of Jay, Merrill and Wayne. It's titled "He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother". Jay, Merrill and Jay were obviously the first to sign the cover. Since then I've been able to obtain Jimmy's, Donny's,Virl's, Tom's and Marie's on the same cover. I got Virl, Tom and Marie's at the Osmond's 50th Anniversary Reunion concert at the Orlean's Resort in Las Vegas in 2007. Alan was also there but try as I might, I was unable to meet Alan and get his signature on the book.

I have met in person Davy Jones of the Monkees, Catherine Bach and James Best of the Dukes of Hazzard, Gary Lewis, Felix Cavilier of the Rascals, Barry Williams, Lou Gramm, and many more! Also got to meet Dan Seals one time as well and he was very down to earth. My favorites would be Davy Jones, Lou Gramm, and Barry Williams!

Great question Jason, but one I ask myself is not just who I would like to meet, but "why". For me as a collector the "why" differs. Yes I would ask for a signature from any of these people and have, but if granted 5 minutes, I would ask them each the following question or comment, because "I gots ta know":

Don Henley: Why are you so against asking Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon back for, at least, one show?
David Gilmour: Why are you so against signing autographs, and "what is it not to get"?
Jimmy Page: How on earth did you come up with so many different riffs in all those Led Zepp songs?
Elton John: Thank you again, and again, and again for making "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".
Eric Clapton: Thank you for choosing music.

You get where I am going with this. As a fan and collector, I like to have a question ready and do ask when I have a celebrity encounter. After all, these celebs are not gods, they are people. I have found that a reasonable question or comment presented with respect actually has extended such encounters.........., and ya never know what they might say.

.............but to directly answer your Q: I would like to meet the "Breakfast In America" line up of Supertramp. One of rocks finest albums, a terrific tour (I saw the show at The Fabulous Forum in L.A., April 3, 1979) and a very under rated band. I would love to see them get back together and perform that LP from side to side just one more time................

It's simply not gonna happen. The closest you can get to this wish is to go see Roger Hodgson in concert. He will be performing "The Logical Song," Breakfast In America," Take The Long Way Home," Lord Is It Mine," and "Child Of Vision."

I tried to get BB King at a bike rally, what an a$$, his handlers were just as bad, he didn't sign for anybody and left. I was backstage even...
