Taylor Hicks at Birmingham Art Museum

That night we went to a very crowded Birmingham Art Museum. We were all standing around by a wall waiting for Taylor to appear. Suddenly, security people started moving along the wall, saying "move back", "everyone move back" They announced that Taylor would be there very soon. Sure enough, in a few minutes…here came the police, Taylor, Dr. and Mrs.Hicks, Taylor’s brother and other folks.

Taylor walked right by my two daughters and me and we were able to get some really close pictures. Then, I noticed the Hicks party had stopped. There was Dr. Hicks right in front of me! I immediately thought…"I’m going to shake his hand". And I said, "Hey Mr. Hicks!! He turned and said "Hello" and "Congratulations" and I put out my hand and we shook hands. Then, Ms. Hicks turned around and we smiled at each other.(I couldn’t think of anything to say) Soon the party moved on.
