Being married to a Rock Star…
People always assume I met David at a show… Or something along those lines… But here’s the truth. I met David Coverdale in November 1990. We were both getting our hair hi-lighted (he was blond then) at this little hair salon in Reno, Nevada called Look n’ Good! How funny is that? When David walked in half of my head was covered in aluminum foil packets. Perfect. Just how you want to look when you meet someone famous. Or anyone for that matter! I knew who he was, of course, and thought it was really weird because over a 2-3 month period before meeting him, his name kept coming up. I guess it was our destiny to meet.
A few days after meeting, he sent me a HUGE bouquet of roses with an invitation to go out to dinner. I was pretty much floored. When I left my job that day, I called to tell him “Thank you very much, but I can’t do dinner.” I was in the process of ending a relationship, but it wasn’t quite finalized yet so I didn’t feel it would be right. Blah… blah… blah… Honestly, I was also scared to death. Let’s just say David was somewhat persuasive and I finally agreed to meet him. I just started thinking, “You know, you just might end up being really good friends. What do you have to loose by meeting him?” I grew up with 4 older brothers so it’s not like it was hard for me to talk to or be around guys. Then, on the way to that meeting “Is this Love” came on the radio. That really freaked me out. I had to pull over and breathe! ha ha.
We took things slow from there. Both of us were traveling off and on so we spent a lot of time on the phone getting to know each other before seeing each other again. Which was nice. I don’t think either one of us really wanted t be in another relationship as we were both coming out of somewhat dysfunctional ones. However… I think the angels had other plans. Seriously. David and I didn’t have a lot of choice in the matter. We were supposed to be together. And thank goodness we eventually gave in because we have an amazing marriage and friendship now.
Being married to a rock star does have it’s perks. You get to have someone write and sings songs about you. And there is nothing like seeing your husband up on stage performing. That is amazing! I am in awe of David when I watch his shows. I love hearing David on the radio and thinking, that’s my husband. Wow. I am so proud of his accomplishments. He is an incredible person. Don’t think I don’t know I’m one lucky girl!

Welcome, Charlene, and best wishes to you also!
Hi Cveti! Isn’t it fun when your children start enjoying your music? Jasper’s first favorite song was “Beautiful Day” by U2… followed by “Pour Some Sugar on Me” by Def Leppard… I was/am a HUGE Leppard fan so it was really fun to share that with my son. Now, HE”S a huge Leppard fan! You certainly see that at David’s shows now as well. All ages, shapes and sizes! It’s great!
All I can say is too cool Cindy! You were destined to be together. What a blessing! It is just wild how our paths cross with different individuals and what happens in our lives because of it. Too cool about Jasper, his love of his music and Def Leppard as well.
Speaking of Def Leppard… David is taking me this Friday to the concert here as an early birthday gift for me. My birthday is not until September but he knew I would enjoy it as a present from him. 
I’ve never seen them perform live, so it should be fun. I think it is so cool that you see all different ages at the concerts. It is certainly not like it was when I was younger. My parents loved music, but they would not have been at per se a Whitesnake or Def Leppard concert that is for sure! LOL 
Thanks so much, Ketty! I appreciate you posting. Best wishes to you!
