My famous Alabamian encounter (outside of the music business) was sitting next to Bart Starr (Hall of Fame Football Player) on a flight from South Carolina to Birmingham. The best part is, I had no idea that he was famous. People kept coming up to him and shaking his hand. So, me being me, I just asked, “Who are you?
