Hey Jim, I think you've posted in the wrong place.
You should have put that one in the 'Heroes' thread a bit further down...........

My father played lead guitar in the Aztec's with Billy Thorpe
We used to have this old farm house at Dural with a big shed and lots of music people would come over and practice. My Mother points out lots of famous people who used to visit us back then.

Hey Paul.....I met Lobby Lloyd in the old Coloured Balls days, prior to him playing in Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs (after Slakewells dad). Got to know him pretty well through an old footy mate who was the Coloured Balls (and later Aztecs)roady. Lobby was a really nice bloke, loved a beer or two as well! He reckons I was the only person left alive that had seen him play with the Purple Hearts in the mid 60's. He's one of my five all time favourite guitarists.

I heard a cool Keith Richard story on the radio when they had listeners calling in with their meeting famous people stories.
One pissing down rainy Melbourne morning this woman was driving her kids to school when he car was shunted up the arse by a stretch Limo. Neither car was movable so she had to stand in the pissing rain sorting out the details with the other driver and wait for the cops. After a while, the rear door of the limo opened and the occupent shouted, "Hop in out of the rain darlin'". Without hesitation she hopped in to discover the Limos occupent was Keith Richard. She reckoned he was a real charmer, asked why she was out on such a shitty day and when she told him she was driving the kids to school, he asked his driver to fetch the kids from the Mums car and bring them to the limo as well. She went on to say that he offered her a Vodka which she declined but did accept a coffee which he made for her using the coffee machine in the Limo. She said that he seemed to really enjoy the experience and especially enjoyed talking music with her teenage kids. When the replacement Limo arrived, he insisted on delivering the kids to school and requested that the driver make a big deal by driving the limo onto the school grounds too impress the kids mates. He then drover her to her home and as a final gesture, gave her a phone # to call to request five tickets to that nights Stones gig. They were front row VIP tickets and during the show old Keith recognised her and her family and mentioned the story on how they'd met to the audience. The family even got backstage passes to the post gig party where they were introduced to the rest of the band.

He seems like a nice bloke to me too.
