Charley Pride - pretty cool guy. A relative's friend's relative was his manager.
Lotsa bluegrass _nobody_would_know_them_s thru a friend.
Flew a transatlantic with Ali Magraw once.
Lotsa politicos, odd when you consider I hate politics and don't move in those circles.
Lotsa actors/actresses, same thing. Just wind up where they are at the same time.
Some heads of state too.
Just odd. That's what I am.

I once spoke with Jimi Hendrix. It was after one of his shows where he had lots of troubles with the amps. At the end of the concert he gave up and just throwed a screamin Strat over his shoulder, which landed behind the amps with a loud crash. When I met him behind the stage I started to say that it was a great concert...and Jimi laughed. Our short conversation gave me the impression that he was cool guy who seemed to have an intellectual approach to things.

allegedly Miles Davis once told my granddad to "get {censored}ed"

 

I have spoken to Tony McManus

Said hi to Nick Cave

And asked Daniel Johns where he got his guitar from. He said it was a present.

 

Also I'm good friends with the drummer for Vinyl Roads. check 'em out!

well nobody probably knows who these dudes are, but:

 

Kevin Rose

Martin Seargent

Leo Laporte

Amber MacArthur

Scott Bourne

Andy Inatkho

 

I also briefly met Alex Albrecht, but we just said sorry to each other because we collided in a hallway at MacWorld...

 

EDIT: Almost forgot, I met Tom Merritt from Cnet's Buzz Out Loud show on the street in Oakland once...no idea where he was going or anything, but I recognized him and shouted "Hey Tom!" and he looked up and waved
