Megan,
Very interesting about the braille find in Ray Charles luggage! The things we learn here!
Gitte,
LOL....Deep Purple Concert in 1972...awesome....but you need to keep digging in your memory for a "meetings of the amazing" award.
Shoesy,
I just thought of another one....(speaking of digging in one's memories)...but I chatted with Bob Marley back in the day at Lincoln, Ne. (didn't really know who he was at the time though)

The mind simply boggles...how does a Braille Playboy work? (Actually, I said for years that I wished they'd publish an edition without the, um, illustrations, as their articles are usually very interesting and well-written...maybe I'll have to learn Braille?) I was in a nightclub *ages* ago and inadvertently stepped backwards onto the foot of the gentleman behind me (in my 4" silver-sequined stilettos -- hey, it was the 80s, and they matched my dress  ). As I turned to apologize, I kept thinking he looked awfully familiar. A few minutes later, they announced that Bob Seger had been in the club. Silver Bullet, indeed! I still wonder if the reason he left the club had anything to do with the ditz who stabbed his foot with her high heel. Yike. |

So it seems like a number of us have crossed paths with famous people.  Mimi - I assume that you were referring to the other Truffaut, not our Truffy, right?  |

Megan,
Actually, my hubby took a picture of the tub with his iphone. I have to ask him to forward it to me so I can post it in this forum.
Sylvia,
I did not dare asking to sit in the tub. They are not going to offer paid visits, all they want is some peace, as they have a large family of four kids. By the way, it must be cool for their 18, 16 and 14 yrs old gorgeous sons to say that they live in Jim Morrison's apartment !!

www.banterist.com/archivefiles/000305.htmlHeres an example of the aforementioned braille playboy . And in the comments it even mentions Ray Charles. The comment was posted in 2006 and I know exactly why he was grumpy ! He was not pleased at being searched I can tell you that ! In the late 1980s/early 1990s, Ray Charles came grumpily off a long United flight to Auckland NZ, waving away waiting journalists with some magazine. Only on development of the photos did it turn out to be a Playboy. Braille. The articles, I guess. Anne - OOH post a photo of the bath - thats great !

I can understand how one can read text in braille (okay...I don't know how..but I get the concept), but how does one "see" pictures in braille? Outlines? Descriptions? Hmm....need to ask Charles.
Sunshine, funny you mentioned Bob Seger. Back in the day, I went skiing with a friend in Colorado and we went to this hopping little bar that had a good live band. Only later did I learn it was Bob Seger (and band)! (I was such a nitwit back then...didn't know half of what was going on until later..ha!)

Radio station just played 2 Doors songs (2 for Tuesday!) I hadn't heard in awhile.."Love Her Madly" and "Roadhouse Blues"! Very different and very good! ;D
And just reported Joe Perry is asking other lead singers to replace Shoesy's schoolmate! The DJ says it is a good way of keeping the band in the news!!!!
