Walmart Grand Funk Railroad
Walmart
One of Jim's previous personal attendants (my husband, Jim Gonsalves, has a disability) was working for Jim, working at Walmart and going to school to get training in one of the nursing programs. She is a middle-aged now single mom, works extremely hard, is motivated, etc. She was working in the "Returns" department; that's rough! I also have met janitors who were members of bands which hadn't made it big yet. You never never know who is behind a cash register or behind a broom. I did publicity for 1 of those bands in the late 1960s. "Mary Marshall Fowler" wrote in message news:aVPMa.2428$I8.1851@rwcrnsc53... Yesterday, 7/1/03, we saw Grand Funk Railroad at the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton, California. Berkeley, Oakland, etc. are in Alameda County. The audience was very enthusiastic. We waited quite a while before a few band members came out. We got silver Sharpie autographs on a dark notes cover from the CD, "Closer to Home": Mel Schacher, bass, Tim Cashion, keyboard, and Bruce Kulick, lead guitar. I also took a photo of Mel with my husband, Jim Gonsalves. (It's not a very good photo of Jim, but we didn't want to waste Mel's time taking multiple photos.) Jim also received autographs on the t-shirt he was wearing. I'll scan that later. This group is always nice to their fans. Playing at county fairs may not be the greatest venue. But the fans are extremely enthusiastic and do buy GFR's CDs. It makes good business sense to be nice to the fans. But they also seem quite sincere. http://www.grandfunkrailroad.com http://www.alamedacountyfair.com/ Photos are at: http://classmates.com Groups Interest Groups Hobbies & Leisure Photo Album Autographs (Also, under Messages) |
