Triumph / Rick Emmett / Eric Clapton fans...?

I saw him with Triumph twice back in the 80's and twice solo. Once in outdoor venue in Fall River, MA & Newport Blues cafe in Newport, RI. Great guitarist but personality sucks. In the newport show there was maybe about 150 people. very small setting and at the end of the first break we approached him for an autograph and he couldn't be bothered. I don't know, 150 people you think he would of been appreciative
