Don't know if anybody here has heard of the band Trapeze. In 1970 they released their second album called Medusa,.. produced by someone with the Moody Blues. I heard the title track on the radio one evening and bought the album the next day. It was one of those double fold open album covers, and the inside had a pic of them.

Some time later, Trapeze held a show in Arkansas, which I attended. The next day a friend of mine who managed a record store (Sound Warehouse) called me and said the band was going to be there that afternoon and would be signing. I grabbed my album, drove there and had the members autograph their pics.

In 2003 (I think) I sold my entire album collection,... desperate times call for desperate measures.

Afterwards it dawned on me that I sold that album with the rest. I spoke a few choice words out loud (very loud) about what I had done.

Mel Galley / guitars - later went to Whitesnake
Glenn Hughes / bass - later went to Deep Purple
Dave Holland / drums - later went to Judas Priest

Thank you sir. May I have another? 25.57K	25.57K Siggy private msg quote post Address this user	plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 3

Anyway, these 4 guys came in the front door, they looked like bums and they smelled really bad. My girlfriend met them at the door and said.... Girlfriend: I'm sorry, but I can't allow you in here. You need to clean up and change your clothes. You smell really bad. Them: Hey lady, don't you know who we are? We're Foghat! Girlfriend: Well Foghat,.. go take a bath! After they announced themselves, then I actually recognized them. Later while I was driving her back to my place, I asked if she knew who Foghat was,.. she said "no". When we got back, I played some of their music for her. She says,.. "Oh, I know those songs". That night was hilarious. Well, Foghat Live doesn't stink LOL.

	That’s really cool! I had planned on getting my Marvel Premiere 50 signed by Alice Cooper at Texas Frightmare last year, but then the “unpleasantness” happened. Maybe this year? It’s a bucket list item, so I’m hoping to cross it off.

To have a piece of paper than was held and signed by Phil Lynott means so much to me. I can't put into words how much that means. Amen to that!! Love Phil Lynott and Thin Lizzy! I was in Ireland in 2017...I had several pints in Phil Lynott's favourite pub just because it was Phil's favourite pub. The man was a genius in my opinion.

Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth Iron Maiden - Killers Candlemass - Nightfall Megadeth - Rust in Peace Danzig - II Lucifuge It can change change but these five have been pretty consistent for me over the years.

	@Studley_Dudley The first Danzig gets most of the love, but I felt his strongest songs were on Danzig II. I’m the one and Killer Wolf are personal favorites. I wore that cassette out in the early 90s.
