Eddie Money

I am starting up my blog again on Famous People I Have Met. I use to post a new blog every couple days two years back, but ran out of time to keep it updated. I am starting this up again, not only for me to recall some fun events from the past, but also to give my opinion on some of the people I have met.

I was lucky enough about 3 years ago to win a contest at our Summer Celebration of 11 nights of concerts to meet Eddie Money. I wrote and sent an article to our local paper about how much his music meant to me and the fun times I recall listening to his songs. Eddie Money was always on the radio back in the 80's. Two Tickets to Paradise, I Wanna Go Back, Take Me Home Tonight, etc. Well luckily my article won and was able to sit next to the stage for the show which was great. He sang all his hits and for being quite a bit older now, he could still get the crowd into his show.

After the show, my wife and I were escorted backstage and hung out at a picnic table with some nice beverages and food provided by the caterers. While we waited for Eddie all the members of TOTO came out also to say hi as they had the main stage next. We only waited about 10 minutes and Eddie came back and signed autographs for us and took pictures. It was very cool that he took time out of his schedule to talk with us for a couple minutes and thank us for coming.
