Here's another examnple of the kind of "niceness" I'm talking about. By the way, this is NOT about name dropping. "Celebrities" have NEVER impressed me. We all put our pants on the same way ... right!

Back in 1957, Pete Seeger, Sonny Terry and Sonny's cousin J.C. Bourroughs (sp?) stayed at my house in the Seattle area for a few days. They were in town for a concert. While there, Pete went out of his way to be friendly to me, had me play his banjo and gave me a lesson. Sonny and J.C. asked me to record a practise session they were having in preparation for the upcomming concert. I still have that tape.

They certainly didn't have to do that, but they did. Those were nice people who spent some extra time with me. That lesson was not lost on me. We are all travelers on the same planet ... right?

So ... what successful performers have you run into that went out of their way for you? Bob
