[Happy April - we are having a bit of a chilly day after some wonderful 60 deg days. But the sun is shining and it's supposed to warm up later this week. Spent the morning at the car dealership getting work done on my car - I have a 2002 Altima with 164,700 miles on it and I want to keep a bit longer. It's been a wonderful car and I've had no trouble with it - but must keep it running good. Thanks for starting the April thread Harriet. So excited for Precious Memories II - it's a wonderful album as only Alan can do them. The Country Weekly was great too. Nice story & great pictures.Opening day for the Cubs - hope springs eternal!]

[We are getting hammered today with a big, ole SNOWSTORM! Lots of wind & lots of snow. Glad I'm watching it from inside. Just heard from my oldest son - they closed early and it took him 1 1/2 hrs to get home - a trip that normally takes 15 minutes. So glad he's home safe - now I can breathe easier. Stay safe everyone!]

WooHoo!   So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore was the number 4 video of the year on GAC.
Congratulations, Alan!
Great video and a fantastic song - still don't understand why radio wouldn't play it.  It's obvious the fans loved it.

[Boston, so glad you found Alan and this board no matter when it was. Alan is great and you are lucky to have seen him twice this year. Good luck with the move - it is definitely a challenge after 20 years. So glad to hear you are a 'survivor' - that's a beautiful word!I've been busy cooking and baking all day. I'm beat!! Still have more to do, but that's for tomorrow & Monday. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas with your family & friends!]
