Granted it was for our drummer's little brother, but talk about putting a smile on my face 
You know, first and foremost my main concern is to make sure that *I'M* happy with what I play. But man... this just reminded me of how awesome it is to know other people dig what you do as well.
I know it's a cliche line used by virtually ALL performers, but this really is the greatest job in the world.

When one of my bands did a CD, we would get asked to sign it, but I've never had someone just walk up and want my autograph. Happened to a few the front guys/gals I've played with and you could tell it made them walk about three feet off the ground. Here's hoping you have more of this in your musical future.

Apparently it happened a lot more later in the evening... I had to jet out a little early since I'm moving into a new place later this week. I hated that I couldn't stick around to schmooze but between the move and my regular 9-5 job, it's a little difficult.
Oh well, I guess they'll just have to come out to more shows to get the rest of the autographs

I also gave a kid an autograph for his sister's phone number.

When we crossed, she turned around and said, "You're Steven, aren't you? My daughters love your work!"
I'll never forget it.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Mar 2006 Location: Mechanicsburg, PA | | | I think signing autographs is funny when I think about it... can't imagine why anyone would really want my signature! I'm just a guy that plays bass. However, I have signed CDs, pant legs, t-shirts that people were wearing, sunglasses, etc. at Christian youth events. The teens seem to enjoy it so I am happy to give them a little something extra - it's nice to know doing something so simple can really be the icing on some people's cake!
