beer ... Playmeter's Carol Lea was
in the overflow gushing mode
when we bumped into her at Bill
Beckham's booth on Saturday af-
ter she met Garth Brooks back-
stage of the AMOA banquet
where he accepted his awarcl Fri-
day night ... she says he is a r1eally
nice down-to-earth guy, and
sorry he's married ... we were
pretty impressed with him too on
Saturday night: A fan mom held
her 3-year old boy forward at the
footlights as Garth finished his
first of a three-song set ... the boy
held forward two small plastic
guitars as a gift ... Garth stopped
the show, walked to the side of the
stage and asked around for a
magic marker, autographed his
own guitar, and handed it to the
kid, then accepted the plastic gui-
tars ... it brought the house down
with applause ... what a class act!
Sadly we departed beautiful
Nashville with its friendly folks
and nice 70's with cooler 40's
nights as our Buffalo Bills were
being hopelessly slaughtered on
tv ... time to play bump at United
as we left town on Sunday after-
noon, but no luck ... bumped into
Gil Pollack from Premier as we
deplaned at O'Hare, and he con-
firmed that there has been no pin
other than Atari's Hercules that
used a pool cueball in the game ...
Premier's Cue Ball Wizard has
the look and feel of a winner iof a
pinball ...
We thought the big tv gig Country
Music Association Awards crowd
would be the cabdriver's dream,
but instead it was AMO.A ...
Nashville cabbies claim record
earnings from the AMOA conven-
tion and hope y'all (over 9,000!)
will return!
