This is the last show I ever did with Peter Dick, on ABC radio, it was his farewell gig and then I worked for another 5 months with Spencer Howson, but out of all the famous people I have interviewed, and let's face it, there were a lot, this is the ONLY person to ever make my hands shake with adrenilin.
I asked for a photo of us together, and asked would it be possible if he could sign my album covers, as I was a big fan.
Sure Bill said, and with that I dragged out all 6 albums. I don't know who was more shocked, lol.
After I went to air interviewing him, I promptly burst into tears, as you do.
It was a very special day.
