A few days ago I was in a department store and saw an autobiography by my favourite female singer and the one I always made no secret about the fact that I thought she was the most beautiful woman on the face of this Earth-Linda Ronstadt.Anyway for some reason I gave it a miss,but yesterday I had a catalogue come and they had that same book for sale but you could get it autographed by Linda herself,passing on the other one must have been due to some kind of Karma,needless to say I scrambled to order it as there were only a limited number available.This book should prove to be a great read because she has had an incredible career and has rubbed shoulders with some of the most influential people in the music industry,plus I would be interested in knowing how she is coping with loosing her ability to sing because she's been stricken with Parkinson's Disease.This is of particular interest to me as my father was a singer in our church choir for 25 years and also put in several years as a choir director himself until he was diagnosed with Parkinson's.

A couple of months ago I bought autographed copies of Ann and Nancy Wilson's own shared autobiography as well as Buddy Guy's.My celebrity autograph collection is slowly growing.

Great find guitslinger! My interest was piqued because while reading Neal Young's autobiography he went out of his way to mention that Linda Ronstadt was one of the finest people he has worked with. I also was smitten as a younger man. I will try to find Ronstadt's book.

I am also a big fan of Linda Ronstadt. Such a clear, full voice. Never heard her hit an off note.
Congrats on finding the book with her autograph and enjoy!

I wouldn't mind giving that a read too, my wife is a big fan of hers. On the subject of signed books, I managed to get Pete Townshend's on his autobiography at an in store book signing last year. One of the highlights of my year that was.
