Who's the most famous musician you've met?

[Tank]

I've met Elton John and Henry Mancini.

I sang with Andy Williams for his Christmas show (two shows) one year, but he never came around to say hello to us.

In Christian music, I've sung with Sandi Patty twice and The Hoppers once, and I've met Ernie Haas and Signature Sound. Have also met and sung with Larry Ford.

Tank.  I don't get out much.  And especially to places where music people are.

Is he a north San Diego county resident? A few of my friends have seen him playing the guitar out on the beach down there.

Why, because you are sexier than he is?

Yes.

And other reasons.

I didn't talk to her and she's not really a musician, but Posh Spice was in the seat in front of me on a flight to London in 2019.

If that counts then Rob Zombie sat behind me at an LA Kings game once 

[Blarg]

Worked as an edit assist when the Scorpions were doing a concert tour in LA and cut the music video for Hurricane. They wanted so much to be rock stars that they wore their stage outfits everywhere so fans would recognize them. 

I met a lot of artists when I worked as an assist and editor in the 80's and 90's. No more interaction than the time spent on a session and usual introductions except for showing Eddie Van Halen how a Synclavier worked.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned @sneaky_flute

He went to high school in Encinitas so that area wouldn’t be a surprise for a sighting.
