[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 963511, member: 17953"] My wife and I went to one of Elvis' concerts back in the early summer of '74 at The Sahara, at Lake Tahoe. It was a great show, but he had a couple of weak points with his voice. The group behind him was called "Voice," and the back up singer did a great job of covering at the moment. It was his opening show for that trip. Then I ended up talking to a friend, and ended up being one of the members of his security team for the next several days. Over the course of years, in Illinois, and the Tahoe area, I did close security for a lot of well known people. Everyone from Paul Anka, while he was at Harrah's Tahoe, to Ferrante & Teicher, in Illinois, when they performed at a local high school. Also did close security for members of the Chicago Cubs, including Ernie Banks, when he and others were doing charity basketball games at area high schools. I met Brian Piccolo, Gayle Sayers, and so many people along the way. That includes people like Wolfman Jack, and Bo Diddley, who was my favorite of all of them. I loved sitting and talking to him for a couple of hours at a time, when I was working for him at an event. Did so many musical groups I can't even remember them all. Those were always nice side gigs, as a cop. It was cash in hand, and with some of them, there would be tips that were larger than a 2 week pay check. The big thing was remembering to respect their privacy, and what you saw was not divulged to anyone. When you stuck to that philosophy, the opportunities were always there. [/QUOTE]
