Bonnie Raitt

I was able to meet Bonnie Raitt at a benefit for Planned Parenthood after her May 25, 1995, Charlotte show. She was exactly the same in person as I expected. When I shook hands with her, I extended my left hand, explaining that I wanted to get ahold of the hand that played that wicked slide!

I knew she is an avid Jackson Browne fan, and also that there is little someone like me could give her that she can't get for herself. So, I made her an 8 by 10 of the Jackson Browne picture of him signing my guitar.

Bonnie did not sign autographs that night. She wanted to look at people while talking to them instead of looking down the whole time. I did get her autograph after making a donation to Public Television!
