Great story Al and thank you. Angelique thought that I was mad concerning Beatles, but I managed to build some credits after she read your story.

Cheers mate! That is the one and only time I have gone to that extreme though and I don't know if I ever will again! ;)

Oh, I know that and you know that. But she doesn't. And that's fine with me.  ;D

 He arrived in a nice dark blue suit...

For some reason I do associate Macca with the colour blue.

Great story Al, although I'm jealous, I'm happy for you. I think I couldn't have brought my mind to move my lips to say anything.

So when will you meet Ringo? ;)

A part from The Times about the event. Alan's not mentioned. Kevin is!

He was at the Virgin Megastore in Piccadilly, Central London, for a signing session after the release of his soberly entitled classical album Ecce Cor Meum (Behold My Heart).

More than 500 fans, many of whom had been camping outside the store since Monday, queued to meet their idol as he made his first public appearance in Britain since the divorce battle turned bitter.

When he appeared at the side door, a couple of girls had the chance to reassure him with calls of

Nice story Al. Glad you and your weary body managed to make it after all! Not sure that I could queue for that long to see anyone though. At my age you need your own bed!!

I'm not suprised that he'd only sign copies of the CD and DVD either. That is what the signing was all about. It's all PR after all, and anyone who thinks otherwise is being naive. Anyway, try signing a thousand autographs in a couple of hours and see how your hand feels afterwards. If they hadn't have limited it people would have been bringing all sorts of stuff with them. I remember seeing John Mayall a couple of years ago - one guy brought 18 albums for him to sign.

And for the record, I don't think he owes anyone anything anymore. Toured regularly, recorded regularly. Everyone's had their pound of flesh.

Glad I didn't have to wait that long when I met him.
