Message: [QUOTE="WillB4, post: 3651349, member: 756"] In 1969 I was in a band and in playing clubs around we became friends with Elf. This was Ronnie James Dio's group. Our manager set up a tour for a week for us in NY. It was in Cortland NY, Ronnie's hometown, that found us playing in a bar on the night Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. The bar was set up like ant other with the room we played in on one side and the bar on the other. Talked with Ronnie about the landing before we went and he said I'll keep an eye on the TV for us. At that point Ronnie starts waving his arms when the walk on the moon was about to happen. The entire room spills into the bar side and watches the walk. Ronnie and I watched elbow to elbow at the bar. Ronnie was also a guest over my house for dinner with the group one night in Waterbury. He could not have been a nicer guy. RIP Also ran into Redd Foxx in Vegas. My wife asked for his autograph in the Hilton lobby. He said the management does not like guests to stop entertainers, he says, "do you have some time?" We proceeded to find a table, sat down and talked for 30 minutes. Come to find out he was in Waterbury at one time and mentioned a few names and I knew who he was talking about. Believe it not he did not even say damn and entire time. Fun. [/QUOTE]
