“You knew FZ?
I have respected your posts for years.
And you are a musician?”

I did know Frank, but not well. Showed him around Milwaukee for a few days. Had a lot of laughs! Took him to a club and the owner asked Frank to do a introduction lineup for the patrons. One young cutie came up to me and asked, “Is that really Mr. Zeppelin?” I was doing the introductions to Frank, so I took her over and said “Donna, this is Mr. Zeppelin.” Frank politely took it in stride, but his bodyguard John, had to turn around and stuff his fist in his mouth. He was laughing so hard he was shaking all over. John and I called Frank “Mr. Zeppelin” for the next three days. Laughed our butts off! I took them to Mader’s traditional German restaurant for dinner. At that time, Mader’s had a trio of old German ladies playing pre WWll Classical German music from a balcony. Frank was stunned! I never paid for one of his concerts again. Gail or someone would call and say there were stage passes waiting for me at the venue.
I am a retired musician. If you go back to my earlier post, there are two songs that I played on with Neil. I played pedal steel on”Every Thought Of You” and lap steel on “Fargo.”
Your post made my week! Thanks!
