I hope everyone had a great Christmas. This week, I'll be posting some celebrity pics that time didn't allow me to post earlier this year. Here we go.

Here's guitar wizard Eric Johnson following his August 2 gig at the Old Rock House in St. Louis, Missouri. Johnson, who in my opinion is one, if not the best, living guitarists, stopped for this shot as he exited the venue. He also placed a beautiful signature on an Ah Via Musicom gold record that has been in my collection for several years. I was glad to finally get the award signed. The gold disc was presented to the Album Network, and Johnson and his manager eagerly wanted to know if I worked for the company. I just laughed and replied, "No, I'm just a fan with a really cool Eric Johnson gold record in my collection." Eric is always cool with fans and loves to talk "shop." Here's my favorite EJ song, Desert Rose.

A few days earlier, singer B.J. Thomas signed a couple of 8 x 10s for my collection and posed for this shot as he arrived in St. Louis, Missouri, for two sold-out shows at the Alton Argosy Casino. One of the 8 x 10s was a posed shot of the two of us from a previous meeting. Thomas remarked about the Texas Rangers jersey he was sporting for the photo and how good his team was playing. Little did we know that the Rangers and Cardinals would meet in the World Series.
