Last Thursday was a busy night in St. Louis, Missouri. My evening started with this shot with Hercules, better known as actor Kevin Sorbo. Sorbo was appearing at the Jewish Book Festival to promote and sign his new book, True Strength. He spent quality time with each fan in line, signing books, photos, and other items, plus posing for photos.
The Jack Buck Sports Awards at the Missouri Athletic Club was next on the list. As the event was wrapping, I spied 2011 World Series MVP David Freese signing at the head table along with his Cardinal teammate Lance Berkman. Both players were extremely pleasant to everyone at the event, staying until the last person had an autograph or a posed photo. Freese signed an 8x10 shot of him rounding third base after his home run in Game 6, while Berkman penned an 8x10 from a World Series batting session in Texas. And, of course, both posed for the camera.
A short trip up Washington Avenue brought me to the Sheldon Concert Hall and a post-concert meet and greet with Peter Mayer and his band following their Stars and Promises Christmas show. Mayer, who currently is Jimmy Buffet's guitarist, signed an event poster and posed for the above shot. We also talked music, including his story of how he almost joined the band Chicago.
The last stop of the night was the TR3 concert at the Old Rock House. TR3 is fronted by guitar wizard Tim Reynolds, who also holds the title of lead guitarist for the Dave Matthews Band. Reynolds posed for this shot backstage following the show. Special thanks to Tim's nephew and fellow collector, Greg, for the post-concert hook-up.
