As I begin, I pull up the first three Legs Diamond albums on CD that have been released through Rock Candy Records. The CDs, Legs Diamond, A Diamond Is a Hard Rock, and Fire Power, arrived earlier in the day. The name Legs Diamond took me back to the fall of 1981. I had to stop and make a note. It only motivated me to get this undertaking going.
This book originally started out as my music-related memories and experiences. The seed was planted after phoning my friend to tell him that we, as in my E and I, just met Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. No fancy meet-and-greet-just a gamble and a hunch.
He could tell from just talking with me how hyped up I was about the experience. He strongly suggested that I write a book about the things I have experienced over time.
That encounter planted the seed for this book even though it's been over a decade.
The majority of the book will be music experiences that shaped me-events as a photographer, writer, or fan. Many are sports related. Those recollections come from being a photographer in the working media to working in public relations departments for several teams.
I hope that as you read through the book, you will reminisce about a special time in your life.
The main reason for writing this book is to document and leave all these special thoughts behind for E, my daughter; for once I am gone, so, too, are the special moments.1 different editions
