Story 155
Dave Peverett - In the mid to late '60s I played in a band that opened for a lot of the rock 'stars' so I was common at that time to meet and even hang with celeberities. The encounter that was really meaningful to me, however, took place in '74 after I had quit playing in that band. At that time I owned a couple of music stores. This gentleman struck up a conversation with me and I found him to be quite personable. Something early in the conversation had led me to telling him about my musical experiences and this man was asking me all kinds of questions about my music. Well about 30 minutes into the conversation it dawned on me that this was Dave Peverett, singer for Foghat, who were in town for a concert. (We had kind of crossed paths when he was with Savoy Brown but had never met and I had never seen him.) He stood and talked for a good hour and a half to two hours. He then asked me if I would be coming to the concert as he wanted to give me a backstage pass but my band had to play that night so sadly I missed the concert. I just know that he was a very nice and humble man, and that the world was diminished when he passed away.
