Story 50
Chick Corea - Flight from Detroit to Tennessee, via chicago. 5 or 6 guys passed by, sat around me & gave off a vibe, so i obliviously asked one (Stanley Clarke) if they were famous. 'Uh, sorta' he said, & my ears popped. Thought he said the name of their band was 'Eternity Forever', half-deaf through most of the flight. Plane trouble, passengers had a wait/free meal in Chicago. 19 & new to flying/warned people get lost in O'Hare, I stuck within vision of my seatmate & his friends. Chic Corea, playing with puzzle toys in the gift shop noticed; we talked, & he invited me to dinner with them. Like feasting with the Marx Brothers! so fun. no idea how big they were til a week later, pics in Rolling Stone AND 'Return to Forever' won a Grammy! Awesome conversationalists, witty, bright, fun. Stanley (last heard did music for movies)'d asked me to embroider something for him, but after we parted, realized i was too broke to buy anything to embroider! the group and their manager still make me smile, remembering.
