I could not attend because I had my kids [it was held at a eastside bar] but I heard it was great...thanks to Danny and some of his friends.

LISAMARIE Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Where and what is Alan Green? A Ohio venue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny S. Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I organized (in 4 days) a "Get Together of Friends" For Alan Greene, whose beloved Wife Christine, passed away earlier in the week. Alan and I have been very close friends for over 30 years. Alan Is probably one of the best blues guitarists in this part of the country, in fact he won the Free Times "best guitarist" award several times. There is not enough room here to list the people/bands he has performed with, but Clevelanders are most familiar with "Breathless" and "Humble Pie".

Danny S. Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 ...And just to stop any rumours before they start, Eric and Wally were there at different times of the evening. Wally had to be at work EARLY Monday morning, so he left right after he played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LISAMARIE Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Oh ok--thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear about Christine, too. I can't imagine how tough that must be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherberries Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Danny, I'm originally from Cleveland, and I wasn't familiar with Alan, but I do remember Jonah Koslan and Breathless. I remember that song also, and of course Michael Stanley, and Humble Pie. That was a wonderful thing you did for your friend! My condolences go out to you and to Alan. By the way, what song did Eric sing?Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlene Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 You're a true friend, Danny ! It sounds like the event was a huge success and I'm sure Alan really appreciated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny S. Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I am still answering 35-50 E-mails a day, from Last Sunday. It was a great get together, even though I found myself wiping away the tears a few times....Actually most of the night.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Ah, Danny, you have such a great heart, and that's what I love about you. And superb musical taste--and talent! --Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
