I was jamming with my Dad's band at the Hilton in downtown St. Pete (Dad plays keys & I play lead guitar).
Greg Lake (ELP) just finished a concert at the Bayfront ...walked in & sat at the bar. Dad's band & I played in front of him for the better part of the set (we both recognized him, but he looked entirely disinterested). Dad called out allot of blues numbers (to show me off).
As we walked offstage, I saw Greg heading toward the elevator & I didn't want to miss the chance to shake his hand and tell him how much I love his work. I got there just in time to shake his hand and compliment him. He held up the elevator and (while we're still shaking hands) he innocently looked into my eyes and expressed to me how much he enjoyed my guitar work.
I didn't think my playing was all that great that night, but I was tingling & Dad was proud.
