ok you guys want to hear a true stevie/christine story???? ...
my jazz arranging instructor is a very good stand up bass player... doesn't play the electric as well... anyway....
he was a chef in kansas city (not a chief)... and he cooked for the celeb's that came thru town at the catered events... .like at arrowhead stadium etc....
and he met stevie and fm a few times because they were in KC quite a bit in 70's and 80's...
anyway he said stevie was so coked up one show rehearsal... before a real show.. and she came up to him and said... "greg... i gotta go on soon and i'm all freaked out... i haven't eaten and i need something that's gonna get me to snap out of it..."
editor's note: greg is telling me this story in a santa monica bar called "o'briens' on wilshire blvd we were drinking guiness on tap...
so he says to Stevie, "give me 5 mins i'll come find you, stay in this room.... she says thank you".....
he brings her back a spicy cajun... tofu burrito .... and says.. "now stevie this is gonna be real hot but i want you to bite down on it before you swallow it regardless..."
stevie grabs burrito and bites down and starts to make a snarling sound.... he yells at her... bite down one more!!! one more... she bites down again... he hands her some water.... she chugs it.... he says she has her head down for about 3 mins which was a long time to him... then she lifts her head up... grabs him for a hug... says i love you greg.... christine makes her way over to her and says ... c'mon we gotta go to make up....
so i asked him... did christine say anything to you... (i'm a huge chris fan) he says "oh yeah man... she was always hounding me to get her the best champagne i could get my hands on....
he later noted, he saw chris jamn at a kent state univ... and as an upcoming jazz bassist he thought she "was the ****" as he put it.....and stevie was a doll
that's a true story on hearsay from my instructor.... i can picture it in my head because i've loved FM for so long....
