Last Sunday it was Jackson Browne and today it was another music legend.I met up with Graham Nash at 3:40 p.m. as he departed the Hilton Hotel in Springfield, Illinois, to board his tour bus and travel to his sold out Crosby-Nash concert at Sangamon Auditorium on the campus of the University of Illinois-Springfield. As he exited the elevator, Nash walked over to our group, said hello, and told us he'd sign one autograph per person. He placed a beautiful silver signature on a single shot from the current tour. Nash has a very long, free-flowing signature and it stretched across the top of the 8 x 10. After signing, he gladly posed for this photograph before grabbing his rolling luggage to head out the door.
I wasn't so fortunate with David Crosby. However, it wasn't much of a surprise. He's one of the toughest autographs in the music business and today was no exception. A few minutes after Nash left, Crosby arrived in the lobby accompanied by his tour manager. Without missing a step, he quickly said, "thanks, guys," and made his way out the front door. At least it was a better escounter than another collector experienced in Washington, D.C., recently when he was doused by Crosby's coffee as he attempted to get a signature.
