I wish I could go to as many shows nowadays as I did back in the day...but it seemed there was a great show every week back then, unlike now where there's only a few really 'must see' a year (if that)...I still get jittery when my ticket gets scanned and looking for my seat, the anticipation of what's about to happen, makes me feel like a 16 yr. old again...the only thing different today is that I am better 'prepared' for a show... |

Ahhh.... Bev.... the good ole days?:) I was quite the little groupie back in the day...at times.... too young to be hanging around hotel lobbys waitiing for bands to walk in...Only one sticky situation, but otherwise, I always had things pretty much under control. I actually partied with Priest in 1983 as a teen, but I doubt they remember ANYTHING from that time!!! Geez.... a couple of wild Wisconsin evenings that involved a drive out into the country to make a "purchase" with one band member who shall remain anonymous and my Priest roadie "date". There was also golfing involved and beers at the "Shuffle Inn". It will forever be etched into my memory as the time that I learned that Rob was NOT into the ladies!!!! So, are we all older and wiser now? Any other oldtimes wanna share any wild tales? |

LOL ... I s'pose it looks that way, huh, flash?! I usually happened to be in the right place at the right time (by advantage of career), or I knew the right people. I also auditioned for a couple of acts, was invited onstage (local clubs) as a guest, was close with local DJ(s) and club owners. I partied sometimes with local acts, a couple of times with big names (usually I was too shy to even get involved on that level. The stories some of the girls used to tell alone scare the daylights out of me ... ) Did I follow acts from town to town, hang-out backstage or in the audience waiting to be singled out by crew, etc. No.

Excellent memory! Good times. I once dated a double kick drummer myself and what he lacked in overall, what I would call hot looks,
he more than made up for in vitallity and just great fun to be around. Plus he had a killer body! DM, if you ever read this board, Susan
still thinks about ya! LOL Tell Vilesilenser I said hello.
