Meeting Don

Chris has a great account of when she met Keith Richards.

Mine isn't as glamorous. I sold a hammer to Don Henley (The Eagles) in Aspen. I worked at a hardware store there one summer.

One fine day, a couple came in to do some shopping. The lady was, um, rather attractive. I didn't take much notice of the man. After they left, a seasoned Aspen resident co-worker informed me who I just sold a hammer to.

That same summer, my girlfriend there saw John Denver at the open-air mall. That shows you how long ago it happened. Another friend was a maid at a condo complex, and she cleaned the suite of the president of Sony.

Did you work at the Miner's Building in Aspen? We've shopped there numerous times. It's the only hardware store I know in Aspen, so I thought it might be that one.

My mom informally sang a song in German to John Denver in San Francisco at a conference once. All the conference-goers were singing to each other in pairs and she ended up with him.
