I always remember asking my Dad for a baby grand piano like his. As I got older I realized Liberace was more about the "entertainer" and not the "pianist" that I wanted to be, and when I turned 40 I gave myself a birthday present and bought that 6ft baby grand that I always wanted!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06618202479471769978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088844753735091049.post-55896504932756288372010-05-24T16:54:08.203-08:002010-05-24T16:54:08.203-08:00lived in LA for a couple of years so had lots of b...lived in LA for a couple of years so had lots of brushes, more than I can even tell you about, mostly at the local pizza joint where the LOCALS all went with their kids. it was just soo normal! can't think of any crushes though!!Caterina Gigliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02866569809702127806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088844753735091049.post-84697841841186020662010-05-24T14:32:04.377-08:002010-05-24T14:32:04.377-08:00Gosh, this post and the comments send someone like...Gosh, this post and the comments send someone like me careening through her free associations. By the way, Lorna, my family are Welsh ~ my last name is Morgan. My ancestors came to the U.S. from Blaneau Ffestiniog where I have visited.<br /><br />Crushes ~ John Lennon until the day he died. I lay in my bed at night in Salt Lake City, age 12, almost praying that he'd put his life on hold and let me get just 6 years older. I'm not sure how I thought we were going to bridge the distance between the U.K. and S.L.C. or what we were going to do with Cynthia and Julian. <br /><br />Brushes ~ my beloved late stepmother was one of two nieces of Gene Autry who had no children of his own. So - Uncle Gene. When I was in high school, the musical group The Turtles were local young men who threw lots of parties. And, in June, 1968, I shook the hand of Robert Kennedy in Olvera Street in Los Angeles - the original Mexican settlement. He said about 10 words in Boston-accented Spanish and the huge crowd went wild for him. The people were packed in so tight, I'm sure he didn't know whose hand he shook, but I know. He was shot that night and died the next day.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088844753735091049.post-70042739515766305002010-05-24T12:35:12.284-08:002010-05-24T12:35:12.284-08:00Some people think my husband looks like Daniel Cra...Some people think my husband looks like Daniel Craig but in Asia they thought he looked like Hulk Hogan!Numinosityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13464230956125740370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088844753735091049.post-50046822706077060442010-05-24T12:09:57.866-08:002010-05-24T12:09:57.866-08:00Crushes and brushes.

Brushes would feature Woody Allen, Tony Randall, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Jane Alexander, Jodie Foster, Jimmy Dean...I'm sure there's more...just can't remember. I lived in NYC and have run into stars at the Sundance Film Festival.<br /><br />Crushes would be: Yul Brynner, Tom Watson and Daniel Craig.<br /><br />I totally understand the Leonard Bernstein thing. He was pretty engaging.Kasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233330248952156754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088844753735091049.post-58426021787765925212010-05-24T10:37:52.386-08:002010-05-24T10:37:52.386-08:00Gosh that's taken me back I was about 10 and i...Gosh that's taken me back I was about 10 and in primary school there was a boy who used to go past the school on his way to 'big school' his name was Terry Floyd i never spoke to him but me and Diane Hopkins has a massive crush on him .Once although I am ashamed to admit it we scratched his name on the door of the school toilets...I have never told anyone this how funny it was so out of character for me ....he he ...I had a crush on Gene Kelly too his smiley face and amazing dancing also Marc Bolan ..I was totally 'gone'on him<br />as for brushes with fame mmmm when I was 14 and on a school trip in Austria I danced with Cliff morgan who was a Welsh TV presenter ( I am Welsh ) so it was a BIG deal ..xxartymesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04798834736698500712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088844753735091049.post-75327478288596667352010-05-24T10:29:24.095-08:002010-05-24T10:29:24.095-08:00I lol when I read Captain Kangaroo.

I used to love Mr. Green Jeans and also my dad's barber Uncle Louie<br />who I told everyone I would grow up and marry. the only brush with someone famous is an architect who<br />created/wrote "Cradle to Cradle" about upcycling- William Mcdonough, who I greatly admire.
