in the 60's my nana lived in san francisco really close to haight street (haight and ashbury was where the big hippie movement kinda started in the 60s so my grandma was literally there when it happened) AND she lived a few houses down from the GRATEFUL DEAD and when she was walking to school she would see them outside playing music and they would say hi to her
also, she was a nurse in both california and oregon (apparently my dad lived in oregon this is literally the first time im finding out about this LOL)
but in california she was a nurse to timothy b schmit (the bassist for the eagles)'s grandma and timothy would come in to see them so my grandma knew him
and in oregon she was literally a nurse for the portland trail blazers (when they were actually good lol) and my dad told me that he was like five when this happened (so like 1976 ish) but he was playing outside and then a Volkswagen bus pulled up and inside it was BILL WALTON one of best college basketball players in history, the "NBA's most valuable player", and made the All NBA first team. anyways, he got out of his vk, said hi to my dad, and went to buy something from my pops apparently
this means he was chummy enough with nana to know pops enough to buy something
THEN (actually this takes place before all of this) but my nana was in an eagles AND beach boys album?????? she sang in the choir that was put in the songs. and she got her albums signed AND my dad still has them somewhere
