I met Levon Helm......
Back in 1968.
There were nights I ran the club pretty much alone, and one night in the early winter, I put on the new Big Pink album and ran next door to a sub shop for a sandwich and locked the place up. When I returned, there was a man standing at the door in the snow, listening to the music from our outdoor broadcast speakers. He asked me if I knew who that was playing when I walked up (keys in hand) and I said "Yes, it's a new band called Big Pink" and then he introduced himself. Pretty cool. They weren't even known then.
I invited him in out of the cold and gave him a free expresso.
Lots of stories like that.
