    Default Starstruck

    Today, I went to a get together/fundraiser sponsored by a local Facebook group that I belong to. Most of us are old friends.
    A local trio played at the intimate event and was great fun. A friend of mine is the keyboard player. They played mostly early 70's soft rock, including our Eagles, America, Peter Frampton, Three Dog Night.etc. Their vocals & harmonies were beautiful and I kept wondering why I hadn't gone & seen them sooner.
    Afterwards, I went & talked to my friend and thanked him for playing and told him I especially loved that they played Eagles songs. Come to find out, the bassist/percussionist is Glenn's cousin!!!!!
    I've rubbed elbows with a lot of famous people, from TV & movie & rock stars to politicians. But I have NEVER, EVER been more starstruck than I was to be there today with Glenn's cousin. He & his wife, who it turns out I did theater with a few years ago, live a couple of towns over. He's a really sweet guy and endured my stuttering & stammering and fan-girl giddyness when I was talking to him and got this photo-op with him. I can't even tell you what I said to him, except we did talk about how long we've lived here and small talk like that.

    WOW! MarthaJo - That is awesome. I know you must have been giddy. I'm betting that he is related to Glenn on his mother's side because he actually bears a little resemblance to Glenn and his mother. Did he go into detail about how he is related?

    Yes. They are cousins on his mom's side. His last name is McGuire. He has a beautiful voice--the whole band harmonizes so well. I kept waiting to hear "Seven Bridges Road". They did do TITL & Best of My Love.

    Hi Martha ! This is so cool ! Lucky you. I assume he is his younger cousin - how old do you think he is. I'm just trying to figure out how much younger than Glenn he is. Obviously the musical gene comes from Glenn's Mom's side of the family. If I remember right, Glenn stated one of his Uncle's(I assume from his Mom) played in a jazz band when he was a kid.

    I'm 63--almost 64,. Kelly is probably around my age---maybe a bit younger by a few years. Younger than Glenn for sure.
    He is a a locally famous musician, but very low key-very humble, very quiet.
