We got photos with him and he autographed 3 vinyl albums for us.  Then we bumped into Jimi Jamison.  He is always nice. We have met him several times.  He politely stopped and took photos with us. He signed a vinyl album for us as well.  Next we met Frankie Sullivan he signed some cards for us and also posed for photos.

A fun filled night!

Meeting Burton Cummings of The Guess Who

On Saturday April 13, 2013 Brian and I headed to a free show at our favorite casino venue to see Burton Cummings of The Guess Who. He is an amazing performer and entertainer!  He performed many of his big hits including:  "American Woman", "No Time", "Share the Land", "Hand Me Down World", "Laughing", "Star Baby", "New Mother Nature", "These Eyes", and solo hit "Stand Tall" among other songs.  He is also quite a comedian.

Brian an I were hanging out after the show and had almost given up on meeting Burton Cummings when out of the blue he walked right up to us.

He was very nice and signed some albums for us. He took a photo with Brian and two with me!!

Meeting Alan White and Geoff Downes of the Band Yes

On April 5, 2013 Brian and I met met two members of the band Yes. We were hanging out before the show. We missed them walking in to sound check. We had a feeling we would meet at least some of them coming out. It didn't take too long before we saw doors opening. Out comes Alan White. He was in a bit of a hurry, but very nice! He signed albums for us and took photos!  Next Geoff Downes came out of the same doors holding his keyboard.  He was with an assistant. He was also super nice! We offered to walk with him to the hotel so he could sign some things and take photos with us. His assistant held his keyboard for him. All in all a great meeting!
