Whilst Mary prefers the music of the Beatles, Thommy's heart belongs to the "Stones", but the "frontiers" aren't so strictly as they have been in the Sixties. And: We are a little bit proud that during the last 20 years we met and talked to some of the people, who gave us so much pleasure with their music from the Sixties on: Bill Wyman, Ron Wood and Mick Taylor (The Rolling Stones), Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), John Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas, Scott McKenzie, Dave Dee, The Dubliners, B.B. King, Achim Reichel und Henner Hoier (The Rattles), Peter Kraus, Wolfgang Niedecken (BAP), Greg Lake (Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Asia)...

We were happy having been invited to the opening ceremony of ”Paul McCartney Paintings“ in Siegen  - and met him on his private party afterwards.

We had a nice meeting with Chuck Leavell, once member of The Allman Brothers Band and now long-time-keyboard-player for The Rolling Stones, in Bad Berleburg (Northrhine-Westphalia) on September, 10^th, 2007. He was on a tour to promote sustainable forestry playing concerts and talking with German wood farmers and politicians. For us he signed a copy of the lp ”Sea Level“ from 1977 and a page in our book ”The Rolling Stones Over Germany“. www.charlane.com

Among our new arrivals are a set of collectables, signed by former Rolling Stones bass player Bill Wyman (pictured with Mary). On May, 30^th, 2004 in his hotel in Siegen he autographed for example a 1970 Framus bass, also some of his books and several newspaper stories, everything now exposed in our museum.
On the evening Wyman played a concert near Siegen with his Rhythm Kings.

Some months ago we came in contact via e-mail – and last Wednesday (Dec. 10^th) we met each other: Anke Brose und Willy Rövenich from the Rolling Stones Cover Band Forty Licks visited us in our Rock-Museum, together with Manni Engelhardt from the Rolling Stones Fan Club Stolberg/Aachen (Germany) and his wife Brigitte. As a present our guests handed over a poster signed by all band members as well as some photos as a document of the bands entrance into the Signs of Fame.

Great performances by German cover band Forty Licks on video will be shown by the Aachen/Stolberg based Rolling Stones fanclub on Saturday, 6^th March, in the pub ”Bei Addi“, Hochstraße 26, 52078 Aachen; the free event starts 5 p.m., at 8 p.m. starts a concert by The Trio Akustik. At the end of summer a double-packed concert will take place at a venue still to be announced: Alongside The Forty Licks on stage: Beatles coverband Get Back.
