Not a bad spring on the musical front.  As usual, I had some hits and some misses while trying to add to the collection.  

First up was America.  This was by far the fastest and easiest autograph I have ever gotten.  I went right to the hotel after the show and as I was walking in, Dewey and Gerry were walking right behind me.  I asked if they could sign and both happily did.  Wish they could all be that easy.…

Summer is winding down and school is about to start but I do have a few autograph stories from the past couple of weeks.

First off, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Chris Hillman (Byrds,Desert Rose Band, Flying Burrito Bros.) and Herb Peterson(Flying Burrito Bros, DRB) made a stop at a small local venue.  After the show they both sat down at the merch table and signed and talked with fans.  I couldn’t find my Byrds album (that Roger McGuinn refused to sign) but I did get him on my HOF…

When the show was over I went to where the buses park.  There were a couple of other guys there but this time there…

Update from Ari Lehman, the First Jason Voorhees:

FIRSTJASON and I recently returned from The Festival de Cine de Terror de Molins de Rei, near Barcelona, Spain where we performed a triumphant concert for the capacity crowd. Many major stars of the Spanish Cinema were there, including Jaume Balagueró, the director of the movie REC, who rocked out while FIRSTJASON performed onstage outside the festival theatre. The promoters created a giant Jason… Continue
