It's still a work in progress.

Apologies to WHO fans......but

Lucy(green) and friends,and my bud Carl (in black)

I went to see my favourite singer ever last week in Ft.Lauderdale/Hollywood Florida.June 17th at the Hard Rock.

Paul Rodgers teamed back up with BAD CO.

Paul very kindly 'asked ' (no bs) for myself and a couple of other English friends up to the dressing room,where we had a lengthy banter about everything from chip shops in the UK to salmon fishing in BC...oh aye and about his singing skills, which weren't too shabby either ;)

(Very enjoyable Paul, I appreciated that so much ....you were very classy)

Like Paul Rodgers is reading MY blog.....yeah right!!!! ha ha

Anyway here are a few photo's of backstage and also the dressing room sign that he autographed to me.

I must give thanks to my good friend Carl Dunn a well respected (in some circles...sorry Carl ;)

and very well renowned photographer who snapped the photo's of Paul and I ,and was -as always- Carl was a cool cool guy. ....'ornery' ...but likeable ;)
