Johnny Hodges and Charlie Parker, both dead.

Hodges because if there was any one sax play whose sound I could have, that's it.

And Parker because he is quite frankly the GOD of sax.

Interesting question, celebrity implies movie stars or whatever. Does that include major world figures?

You know what they say: 'You should never meet your heroes'. But I don't have heroes so that's OK. I have met celebrities as in been in the same room working with them. But never had a chat, just superficial contact. I can't think of anyone. I met Julianne Moore who impressed me as being quite a genuine person. Very pleasant.

Possibly George Clooney, from all accounts he is a genial guy and easy to get on with. Naturally I'd like to meet some of the movie stars who are pilots. At least I would have something to discuss outside of telling him how much I loved his last film, whether I did or not. I'd like to meet Tom Cruise if it means I might get a ride in his P51.

i think cpxxxxxxx is probably right. celeb does imply *movie star* type. I think I'd like to change mine to better suit that. Actually, I can't think of any movie stars that I'd like to meet. So my previous post can just be removed

When i was a doorman in the city, off the top of my head and i know i'm forgetting some, i met:

Bruce Willis
Demi Moore
Jack Nicholson
Billy Squire
Steven Speilburg
Scott Rudin
Steven Jobs
Tom Cruise
Harrison Ford
Jerry Seinfeld
The skinny smurfy chick from sex in the city
Steve Martin
Courtney Love
Woody Harrilson*sp
Goldie Hawn
Donna Karen
Ted Dansen
Dustin Hoffman

To me it's no big deal. Some of them were cool, some of them i wanted to see get hit by a bus.

yes it can include major world figures.
according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity

and as such my answers stand, some in mine may be less a celebrity than others. so what? at one time or another, in local, country, or international, they all are celebrities.

a Local one would be Jack Barker a Musician that played on the TV in Winston-Salem, NC , in the 40's, when my Father was just a boy.

Jack plays an electric lap steel guitar as well as a standard acoustic guitar.
I've seen and heard him play like it was real easy. he actually had the same lap steel guitar when he was on TV. he still has it, still plays it. and he is, IMO, very very good.

gotta go now, I'll finish this later if I remember to.

McQueen and Wayne are both dead though.

Eastwood is one celebrity that I would enjoy meeting. He is not just a talented actor, but has actually produced and directed many fine movies, including two Academy award winners.

Even John Wayne never accomplished that.
