I'd be interested to know if anyone on this board ever bumped into a Stone during the 60s and how were they?

"StonesDoug" sure you know of his site, when I went to one of the Shidoobee get togethers before a show in Atl in 05', remember he told me he somehow got in back of a van with them when they played NJ area early 60's show. So you might can contact him about the encounter?

Probably doesn't count...but anyway...

If you've ever driven from central London out to Heathrow airport you likely went over the Hammersmith Flyover, along the A4, branched right at the Cherry Blossom Roundabout, and then on to the extended M4 elevated section.

On the left as you enter the Cherry Blossom roundabout there's a petrol station on the left (at least there was in 1965/6!) In those days 'attendants' did the filling up and the drivers stayed in the car.

I worked there for some time and one evening a mini turned up with Mick/Keith/2 beautiful ladies and I served them petrol.

Rather modest actually...

(For completists... also met Sir Edmund Hillary (neat), and sold petrol in a can to Stirling Moss who had run out of petrol down the road - hilarious.)

I met a guy recently who told me a story (in his liverpudlian accent) about a college dance he was in charge of back in the 60s; they didn't have much funds, so they hired a local fairly unknown local band to play (featuring Pete Best on drums).

kind of off topic, but a cool story nonetheless.

Not sure about the details as it's been years since he told me the same thing, but I think it was '65 or '66 when he approached a van with a bunch of other fans, stuck his head in the window, and was able to grab a button off of Brian's coat just as the van was about to speed off.

July 1st 1966.

I could pretend that's the sort of fact I know, but I'd be lying. The story is there for all to see in "Love You Live : The Rolling Stones : Fanfare from the common man" by Marilou Regan 2002. Page 64.

In my edition, page 64 is the first of a double page full of photo's (true: all from the sixties, at first glance...) -
Following that, from page 66 on, somebody from Buffalo, NY (named Yoko Nishimura ) is quoted; en previous to that, on page 60 to 62, Tom Beach from Rockville, MD is telling his story.

This is very lovely to read and a nice picture to imagine, Keith and Mick in a Mini with two girls and you at the side of the car....

I have a friend who was in a fraternity at Georgia Southern in 1965. He drove the Stones to their gig in Statesboro (this was a couple of nights before Keith dreamed "Satisfaction").

He'd already dreamt (heard Nowhere To Run horns) in England before this tour.
