Happy Belated Birthday Jeri.  Hope you had a fabulous day with family and friends.

I am from Whitby, Ontario.

ajfan4sure, what part of Ontario are you from?

TrixieLou, thanks for your prayers.  It was a difficult day.  I  think it doesn't help because I have alot going on in my life right now and she is not here to talk too. Either is my dad, as he passed away in July of 2007. I am thankful that my husband is here for me.  He is my soulmate.  When you mentioned you lost your mom and sister in the same year, only months apart.  That was the same with me.  We lost my mom in Oct of 2001 and my stepdaughter in Jan 2002.  She was only 20 years old.

Jeri,  Mother's bring families together, too.  When she was alive, we always had our family dinners together.  Now it is so different to get together with my brother's and sister.  We all have busy lives. Christmas and Thanksgiving is about the only time we still get together.  Also, I had a very difficult time when my dad passed.  As he was very depended on my younger brother and me.  So I was constantly with him after my mom passed away.  When he passed, I did not know what to do with myself for the longest time. I do have alot of precious memories of them and will always keep them in my heart.

Bostonhonkytonk,  you won't go wrong with any of Alan's CD's.  They ar all great.  But the one that is special to me, is his first CD, Here In The Real World.  That is the one that started off his career.  I heard him singing Here In The Real World on the show August City Limits and I got hooked.  I have all his CD's and DVD's and I enjoy them all.   Anita

October is one of my favorite months.  I think it is because of our Thanksgiving, my wedding anniversary, which is the same day as Alan's Birthday (what a coincidence that is) and I love the scenery with all the different colours of leaves.  I do agree with you Elaine,  I hate what happens after all this.  Not looking forward to it.  Hope we have a mild winter like last year.

Sharon,  I am glad your husband passed his stone and is feeling better.
Jeri, It takes time to heal when someone close to you passes away. It is the good memories that lets you go on.
Harriet, hope you're doing better.  Continued thoughts and prayers for you.
Elaine, Glad to  hear your son Todd is doing better.
Mazie,  I hope you are feeling better.
Faye, drinking is an awful disease. My prayers are there for you to have strength to have to deal with this and hope that he will get help.  It can destroy the family life you had together. But if you all stick together and help him through it, hopefully he will get the help he needs.

I hope all is well with everyone else that I have missed.


October is one of my favorite months but also a very sad month for me.  As I lost my mother this month on the 9th.  It will be 11 years and there is still an emptiness in my heart for her.   

Yesterday, I found out someone I chummed around with in high school passed away.  She had breast cancer 11 years ago and all was cleared. Then not to long ago they found cancer in her liver.  She has two young kids.   My thoughts and prayers  are for her husband Fred and children.

Well that is too bad we didn't know ahead of time, we could of met.

My only complaint was I thought it was too short.  He only played for just over an hour.  Usually the shows are 1-1/2 to 2 hours long.  That is alot of money to spend for just an hour of a show.

Randogs, I hope you went to your M&G, even if you did not have tickets.  You are allowed to have the M&G without a ticket to the show.  BHR, I think you misunderstood what the rules are saying.  It says to get into the show you need to buy those tickets separately.  Just because you got the M&G doesn't mean you have seats for the show. You can just have the M&G and no tickets to the show.

 I copy this from the rules:
 •The Meet and Greet pass cannot be used for admission into the show and is non-transferrable. You must purchase a ticket to the show separately.

Another gret performance by Alan.  Great seats Cindy thanks.  2nd row(F4) Centre Seats 7 & 8.  Could not of asked for better seats.  It was great that I got to meet Allison, one of our fan members. I even caught a guitar pick that was thrown at me.    Attached photos that I took at the concert that I posted to facebook.  Hopefully you all can see them.  He is sure looking mighty fine at almost 54 years old.  I think he has lost weight because he did look thinner.

Thanks for sharing Beth.  I can't wait, I am going to see him this Friday at Casino Rama in Barrie, Ontario Canada. 

Awesome for u, Ginbat.  For which night did you win them for.  I am going on Friday show.

Has anybody heard if they got a M&G for AJ concerts on Sept 27 & 28 yet? 

JeanB,  wish your wife Nina, a happy retirement.  I think she did it right.  She let you be at home for the 3 years to have you trained to do everything around the house, including house cleaning and making dinners.  Therefore, now that she is really retired, she has you trained to do it all, that she can enjoy the rest of her life relaxing while you do it all.  LOL.
