Born & raised in TX. Wish I would have met Michael when I was in Oakland in 1986-87. I first met Michael & the band on Oct.18th, 2007 in Louisville KY. Then in Nov. 2008 in Louisville. Did not get to talk to him both times he came to Indianapolis in 2009, but the Feb.13th show I gave a gift to the manager to give to him. Never heard if he got it or not, which made me sad. I wanted it to go in the tour bus with him everywhere. Michael was born on my grandfather's birthday :)
