Meeting Bobby in 2006

What a complete honor it was to meet this man. Actually we met with Greg, Spinner and Mike too but we got to talk more and didn't want to break the feeling taking pictures. Bobby-thanks for everything, man. Mostly for walking with me during the last years.

Bobby

Thank God for e-mail. It was a special moment as it closed many circles for me and though I had help at close hand you made some impact, that's for sure. This is something I will not forget. I'm very grateful to those who have helped me find my way.

Thanks, man!

I remember....

It was many many moons ago, but I remember the first time I met Bobby like it was yesterday...it was sureal...he and Luke...Hell, ALL the guys are so real and genuine...they really take the time, and they really do care about their fans...I have known a bunch of guys in this business, and they are the ONLY ones who are this real...must be a pre requisite to be in the band...hahahahah.....

GREAT GUYS!!!!!

Good for you Daniel!!

What can you say about this?

What can you say about this? Bobby sent a guy in to get us from the backstage room just to be sure he could say hi to me and the Mrs. We could not believe it, sure enough I wanted to meet the man with whom I have mailed for 3 years but I didn't push it to get there. If we got a chance, great, if we didn't then we would be fine nevertheless.

I cried when we left the arena, that moment gave us some dignity and respect back which was a gift I'm not sure I could see coming going to the concert. Mike surprised my wife by promising her she could use the band's restroom when we told him she had a stroke some years ago. I mean, what can you say? These guys are the real deal and those people who rake them through the coals doesn't know what they are about.

As for you your music makes me glad too, love your stuff. Thanks for writing, I deeply appreciate it.

The boys in the band

I can second what Joe says. I met Luke and Tony separately after the sound check last November as I stood at the bottom of the stairs and I felt like I was talking to a couple of regular guys. Luke was just the nicest guy in the world. It's something I will never forget. The music world is full of self-serving, egotistical idiots and these guys (who have been doing this for over 30 years) rise above that. Proving once again, that there are still some good people out there.

Good for you, Daniel...

Being around as a band for

Being around as a band for 30 years one figure these guys must have seen and experienced the most, still they care about humans. I would like to bring 'em a little something but I don't know what. Of course they have their friends at home in LA, I know that. I'm not trying to replace friends or family for them but if they need anything my home is open for them as it is for most people I meet,

We're not rich but we'll always have something in store for guys like these. Same goes for a whole bunch of you guys here if you pass Sweden.

Thanks Mark, stay in touch, will ya?
