John Fogerty (Creedence Clearwater Revival and John Fogerty http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Fogerty). I met him at a capitol press conference in 2003. I told him how cool I thought the harp tone was on Run Through The Jungle. I asked him what kind of microphone he used on that song. He said it was an old Astatic mic from the 50's. We talked more about harmonica tone. Nice guy.

Don Henley (Eagles and Don Henley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Henley) I finally got to meet one of my favorite vocalists. Met him at a capitol press conference in 2001. We were waiting for the conference to start. He wasn't doing anything yet, so I said hi, told him I was a fan, and asked him for a quick photo. He tried to ignore me. He finally turned towards the camera just after this photo was taken, but the photographer missed the shot. The rumours are true. Not a very nice guy.

Carlos Santana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Santana) I finally got to meet one of my guitar heros, but was disappointed. I met him at the capitol after a press conference where I was running the audio. I told him I was a fan and asked him for a quick photo. He agreed, but seemed distracted was not real friendly to me and my co-worker. I guess I caught him at a bad time.

David Hyde Pierce (actor and comedian - Frasier sitcom - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hyde_Pierce) Met him at a capitol press conference in 2004.

Elected to the "Pro Football Hall of Fame" in 2004. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Montana) He was invited to the capitol on 5/13/97 by Assemblyman Dick Floyd. I was the audio tech at his press conference. I told him a was a big 49ers fan and talked with him for a few minutes. He signed a 49ers helmet and Kansas City Chiefs poster for me. He spent a few hours signing autographs, posing for photos, etc. He created a lot of excitement at the capitol that day. Nice guy.

Met her at a capitol press conference. She was there to talk about her personal battle against the toxic molds found in her Southern California home - http://www.mindfully.org/Health/Brockovich-Mold-Crusade.htm. We had a great conversation for about 10 minutes. I asked her a few questions about the mold found in her home. I told her about my attempts to remove mold I found in a house I was renting. She was very nice and personable. I enjoyed talking with her.

Jane Seymour - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Seymour_(actress) I met her when she was at the capitol to shoot an episode of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. She and the cast were there for a 4 day shoot. They transformed the capitol with dirt on the sidewalks, horses and carriges, fake shubbery and lots of other props. I really enjoyed meeting her and other cast members and being behind the scenes. She was sweet and classy. A very nice lady.

Met him at a night club (Slick Willie's) in Sacramento. He and lead guitarist Rick Nielsen were in town. They stopped by to sit in with the band. There was another, better photo taken of us when we were both looking at the camera, but I can't find it. He was one of my favorite vocalists, so it was great to finally meet him & talk to him. Nice guy
