It's Sunday evening and time to recap last week's two celeb encounters.

The jazz supergroup, Return to Forever, was in concert at the Fox Theater in St. Louis on Tuesday. The group, consisting of jazz legends Chick Corea, Al
Di Meola, Stanley Clark, and Lenny White, made a quick exit to their tour bus following the show. Unfortunately, all the fans got was a wave. So, I decided to follow their bus to see where it stopped. After a long trek through downtown St. Louis, the bus pulled into the new Four Seasons hotel near the riverfront. As the bus came to a halt, all four members exited the bus at the same time, so it was going to be a challenge to get them all to stop. I did good, obtaining autographs from Corea, Di Meola, and Clarke, and these photos with Corea, top, and Di Meola.





Last night, I made a quick 15 minute trip to Murrayville, Illinois, to get an autograph and photo with country artist T.G. Sheppard. T.G. was the special guest for the city's 150th anniversary celebration. He had an extensive merchandise table and was gladly signing photos, CDs, and t-shirts for fans.
