| Message | Just wanted to share a personal Alex Harvey memory. I think it was around 1976 the band came to Jacksonville, FL with Jethro Tull. My uncle, Patrick Hines, knew some of the band members and invited a couple of them, I think the McKennas, out to my parents beach house for dinner and a day at the beach. They had a great time, but my best memory was how my mother embarassed me by greeting them at the door in a long wig, guitar in hand, pretending to be a rock star!! I wanted to die (teenager that I was), but the 2 guys were very nice. Mother said that she exchanged letters with them for a while, and I do remember seeing the band later on the Midnight Special! |
