After Bobby's performance there was a short intermission. During this time we found out that the woman sitting next to Diane was a newspaper reporter for the St. Petersburg Times. She noticed our enthusiam during Bobby's show and the fact that we had a huge bag full of pink roses. We noticed that she was taking notes during the concert. Diane began talking with her and asked me to give the woman one of my cards.

We told her how this was our 7th concert and how we'd been travelling all over the country to see the Teen Idol Tour. She was very nice and wrote a nice article and review in the paper.

When Davy's set started we could tell that he felt much better than he did at the Mt. Airy show. He'd just had knee surgery and you could tell it hurt. Diane has had knee surgery and I have a bad knee since I was 14 too. Neither of us knew how he was able to do as much as he did in Mt. Airy. During the Clearwater show, if we didn't know it, we wouldn't have been able to tell at all.

I gave him my roses when he started the song "Girl." He smiled most graciously and smelled the flowers. Diane went to give him her roses sometime after that but by the time she got up there he was all the way across the stage. She had to wait for an opportune time to walk up and give them to him. After the song was over, she walked center stage and gave him the pink roses. He started to back away with a smile and she held up her hand and said, "I have something else for you too." He reached down and took her token with a puzzled look on his face. He said "What's this? A Lucky Penny?" She said "It's a squished penny, it has the title of one of your songs on it." He turned it over and read it to the audience "I Love You Forever."

He started to tell a story about how his father worked on the railroad and always told him to stop putting pennies on the track, but he always did it anyway. He seemed really touched and it looked like it brought back fond memories of his father. He looked down at my sister, smiled and said "That's so sweet, Thank You." Then he bent down and gave her a kiss! Then he put the penny in his pocket.

She was so tickled by that, she was bubbling over by the time she reached our seats. She had to walk past the newspaper reporter and she said "I kissed Davy Jones, nooobody kisses Davy!" I don't think I ever saw Davy kiss anybody at any of the concerts we've gone to. He seems to guard his privacy very closely. We've talked to him before, but he looks you square in the eye as if to say ok, that's it, no closer, please. So when he initiated the kiss Diane was absolutely sky high! I haven't heard the end of it yet!

After the show was over and the hall was clearing out, Diane and I kept saying stuff like "I kissed Bobby Sherman", "I kissed Peter Noone", "Well, I kissed Davy Jones and Nooobody kisses Davy." The reporter must have thought this was funny because she put it in the article. But I'm sure all you Bobby Babes, Davy Devotees, and Nooniacs will understand what we were going through. I mean, when you kiss Davy Jones, Peter Noone and Bobby Sherman in one night, WOW!
