Everybody's Crazy 'Bout a Sharp-Dressed Baby

A couple of weeks ago, Nick and I were shopping at the Home Depot in Lake Orion for some flush-mount ceiling light fixtures. Who should we run into in the check-out lane but Billy Gibbons, the famous guitarist from ZZ-Top. You may be asking yourself, as was I, "What is Billy Gibbons doing in the Lake Orion Home Depot?" Turns out, he was shopping for stuff, (according to the check-out guy, he needed to fix some camera stands). He was putting on a concert at DTE Energy that night. Anyway, I approached him and asked if I could take his picture with Nick, and he was kind enough to oblige. Thank goodness for camera phones! He even bought Nick a little toy car flashlight from the checkout lane. As you can imagine, my music lover husband was rather excited about the whole thing and was sending phone pictures of him to everyone he knew. I finally figured out how to move pictures from my phone to my computer, so I thought I'd share Nick's earliest brush with fame. I think the looks on Nick's face are hysterical. It's like he was thinking, "Who are you and why are you touching my cart, you strange looking, Santa Claus look-alike?" You never know who you're gonna run into, huh? It's a good case for showering and putting on make-up before you run out the door....

Jules,
Love it! It reminded me of the time when Hazen was at the Elm Hall Club and Ted Nugent showed up.
Hazen did not recognize his name nor a clue who he was. When Ted asked of Hazens name & Hazen told him Ted responded with "THEE HAZEN WAGER?!"
Gotta love it. Beki
