Doug,

We will never approach the pennant, pins or Cincinnati Reds threads, but this one still has some legs. Let's keep it going. Some more autographs from 'the book' and some photos.

Carl Wilson and Mike Love signed June 6, 1989. I remember Carl being very laid back.

Harry Chapin - Hotel Penta, NYC. There was this group called Rock Ages that ran these record conventions. They had one at the hotel across the street from MSG. I think it is now the Hotel Pennsylvania. This record convention was as large at the baseball card shows they had in that hotel. The Ramones had a merch table and showed up. Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group and producer of the first 'Nuggets' compilation album) was there selling his 45. Chapin was interviewed by well known D.J. Pete Fornitale then he performed a few songs.
