Cab C. was arrogant and rude.
Evelyn Thomas hit song "High Energy" was the sweetest! truly!
Evelyn Champagne King of "Shame" was trash rude, making us wait for over an hour to have 20 seconds.
Linda Clifford was adorable. Tommy Tune was elusive, disinterested.
It's been a 40 year ride to enjoy the kindness of Debbie Jacobs Rock. Always fun to see. I would run into her in Baltimore, New York, Florida & watch her perform.
My friend Kevin Barham is a personal friend of hers & that was my link to keep in touch.
To have her compliment my singing soooo beautifully was special for me.
She even gave me a personalized CD in 2018 that is not released. WAY COOL. FOREVER A FAN.
I dated Ross Milstead (Divine's cousin) & was my exposure to wild ways. lol.
I am a massive fan of Dynasty. Linda Evans. As you can see I got several personal autographs & ebay autographs to create a collage. IF ANYONE HAS COLLECTABLES I will GLADLY take off your hands!
One of my co workers was a classmate of Eva Cassidy. I became a HUGE fan of her INCREDIBLE music in the late 90's
Now THIS IS MY LADY! She wrote the most amazing BEST SELLING NOVEL! "The Front Runner". To my knowledge the only gay book to reach the bestselling list! 1977. That book allowed me to officially come out & was the catalyst to taking up running/jogging that lasted 33 years! Meeting her was a major deal for me! Thanks to friend Mitch Crossfield (bookstore owner). Over the years People Magazine would issue articles about people interested in making a movie, from Paul Newman to Brad Pitt. Has never happened and she died a couple of years ago.
Having met Mario Lopez AND Greg Louganis (of which I took his book onto "The Gordon Elliott Show" when I appeared in 1995.
Summers in Baltimore at the Mt. Washington Swim club a 15 year old Michael Phelps would swim. I loved swimming but my stamina suffered. He was shy and geeky. BUT even then he was very serious about his competitive swimming.
Later when he was a pro, you often find him eating my neighborhood grill. Pete's Grille in Waverly. It was interesting that when he would see me, pass me MANY TIMES it was if he had never seen me before.
Oh well. Forever a fan.
The Hello Dolly show was fantastic! Carol Channing was sooo small! Sitting next to me was Sharon Stone and Jodie Foster both wearing grand hats! They really looked beautiful and gave full support to Carol!
I have been a fan of Judy Collins since 1973. George Luz's wife Shelden introduced me to her meaningful lyrics.
6 decades of music she continues to give us even in her eighties she sings incredibly.
I was lucky enough to see Yul Brynner as the king just before he died of lung cancer.
Getting Liza's autographs after singing her song "Maybe this time" for a talent show at my school that lead me to title role of PIPPIN (of which I performed a command performance for President Ronald Reagan in 1986
I was sick as a dog, but Darren Debolt wanted me to go meet Mario Lopez. He even paid for my book to be signed. Mario was quite nice!
Now, the love of Melissa Manchester is a 47 year love affair. 1977 when I met a guy who owned a shoe store and horse farm when I was little living in Vine Grove Kentucky. Although he was a horny ole goat, his young partner was kind/sweet/gentle soul. He introduced me to the sounds of Melissa! His sexy friends would all sing along and I felt alive finding other guys that were gay and not stereotypical!

There are few women that would make me change being gay would-be Olivia Newton John! lol. Her husband Matt was just as pretty, lol. My brother Michael introduced me to her in 1973 with a 45 single of "If you love me let me know". I was hooked when she sang "I honestly love you"!!! Forever a fan. Attached is a ticket to her xmas show in Miami that I took my partner Jason to see. It was a magical show with 5 standing ovations!
Watching Paul Lekakis sing at Numbers Bar in the late 80's. A middle-class bar. I felt sooo happy to see him sing,
"Come on over to my house" right next to me. 30 Years later Jason and I would see him sing at Fort Lauderdale's Gay Pride. Way Cool!
Quentin Crisp was the Grand Marshall for the Baltimore Gay Pride. Terry and I had gone to see him perform his one man act show. Afterwards I was talking to him about gay relationships. He commented that two gay men could never stay together. Now, I had been with Terry for a number of years and I soooo wanted to prove Quentin wrong. However it was only in the cards for Terry and I would to only remain friends for 40 years until his death.
My boss Monica's client Sally went with me to see the cast of Grease perform at "THE HIPPO". As it turns out Sally actually knew and were personal friends with Sally Struthers! It was seriously cool! Miss Struthers can cuss up a storm when spirited! lol. A special night!
One of the last times Juan Carlos & I spent together before the end of our friendship. He took me to see Sarah due to his working for a major record company.
