Once upon a time we scored back stage passes for a Rolling Stones concert.

As we wandered about in the promised land we came upon Keith Richards and I seized the moment and asked him to stop and pose for a picture with me.  He was readily willing, but said he was about to go on stage.  I hurriedly handed the camera to Joanne who was not familiar with it and faltered.

My instant state of alarm was immediately soothed as he smiled at Jo and, as if he had all day, sweetly said “Take your time Darlin’!”

The resultant picture is above and I’ve always mused Keef might pen a song by that name.

Who says Rock Stars aren’t down to earth?
