So when do we get ... The Rest of the Story? :)

How did you get backstage? Where was this show? I saw a link to a youtube vid you posted for this concert but the vid has been removed. And this was after you saw them at the Zoo ... hmmmm, does the veil of secrecy have anything to do with this "Masked Avenger" fella? :o

Superb pictures, Cropmeister. With the boys pushing 70, ya gotta wonder how many more photo ops like that you'll get.

:)

Super nice guys, all of them.

Booker was nice but was the most rushed.

Steve Potts was fantastic, just a great guy.

Eddie Floyd was FANTASTIC too, full of energy and loves to talk football!

Duck.....what can I say? I bought him a drink, LOL

Steve was the one who stayed the longest and talked to everyone. He signed things for me, gave me a couple of picks and chatted with everyone. He loves his red wine and was a complete gentleman.

All the guys were great, I couldn't have been happier. Well........

He is a HUGE Tennessee Titans fan and he couldn't wait to get back to catch a game.

We talked about his new CD and I asked him a few questions about Wilson Pickett. I have to tell you, Eddie is a SUPER nice guy, he made me feel like I was his best friend!

I knew, we talked about his new CD too, and all was "strange": sitting with him, talking like we were friends or something. I talked with him most of the time when I was backstage. It was nice!

You're right - it's hard to believe but Eddie "Mr. Knock on Wood", "Alabama Slamma" Floyd is just a normal guy.

He was fantastic. No intimidation at all and he IS a hell of a showman.
