I met Barry Crocker at the height of his Barry McKenzie fame. We were at the airport and my Aunt urged me to approach him and he most graciously drew a cartoon sketch of himself in my autograph book, then signed it.

On my 16th birthday I went to see the Beachboys. My friend and I snuck in backstage and met the band. I scored Brian Loves autograph.

Mum took me to see Johnny Farnham many years ago, I would have been only 10 or 11 at the time. At the end of the concert I bolted up the aisle and on to the stage just in time to join him in his encore, he held my hand as his took his final bows.

When I was 18 my boyfriend had to pick up Larry Norman (a very famous Christian Rocker from the US) from the airport and bring him to Festival Hall for his Brisbane performance. I got to meet him after the show, I was so starstruck I could barely give a coherent reply when he spoke to me. The one thing I do remember from the encounter was how short he was. He wore platform boots.
