Back during my radio days, The station had a remote set up by the river in Alexandria for the festival they held there. Got to interview and BS with Linda Davis, who was just starting out, before that huge duet with Reba. Very cute, very sweet, very friendly, so much so that she invited my partner and me to fly back to Nashville with them. He had tickets to a Saints game next day, and I had to sub for him, so we both had to decline. The funniest part was her manager tugging her sleeve and trying to stop her from inviting us...'Uh, Linda?..We gotta get going....Linda....'

Went to see The Mighty Mighty Bosstones at the Howling Wolf back around '96. It wasn't a normal show (tickets very limited.) It coincided with a record industry convention in NOLA and you had to have a pass to get in, not a ticket. Alas, my friends and I were "pass less" and it looked like we were going to strike out getting in.

We ended up going behind the club where we could at least hear the show. Sat there drinking for a few when all of a sudden a door opened and a raspy voiced Dickey Barret said "Hey kids, get over here."

He snuck us all in backstage. Hung out for a few. Guy was cool as hell. It was pretty surreal. The Cardigans were actually having a photo shoot back there at the same time. After a few he walked us to a door, said make two rights and act like you own the place. Saw a great free show.
