Meeting Rod Stewart

(posted by Ange)

100 years ago, as Gary (my dad) puts it (I think it's more like 40 years) him and his buddy packed up, flew to Europe, bought a van and spent 6 or 9 months (dad you can correct me here) on the road in Europe. Throughout my years I have heard all sorts of stories of his travels...where he's been, what he's seen, I've seen all the love letters home to mom and who can forget that awful collection of beer steins.

But NEVER have I heard that he went to Ibiza and while there, met Rod Stewart!!! How could this vital information have passed me by? I spent all of grade 11 and 12 listening to Rod, (since my dad "knows" him I figure we are on a first name basis) singing along to Maggie May and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy. When I read Gary's comments on my last post, I became confused. Is this some other Gary? My dad has never met Rod Stewart. Who is writing this comment? Well, I confirmed it with mom...yes, he met Rod Stewart. Although at the time he wasn't really ROD STEWART, he was in some band my mom can't even remember the name to. Still....If outgoing Gary can hook up with Rod, who knows who my chatty patty Dave may be able to talk up. That is it! We are going to Ibiza.
