What the * is the matter with some people???!!!!  Seriously!  grrrrrrrrr......

I recently moved and had big issues with my mail so I had to wait to order my copy.  I just received this last week and I have to say - what a beautiful CD!    I've had it on constant rotation at my house.   I'm really enjoying it.   

I notice I have to log in a number of times before I can post.  When I look at my identity after I log in, it says,  "welcome guest".   Does anyone else have this happen?

Thanks for posting all this, BHR. 

Here's a link to the picture of Alan with his hat over his heart, at the end of his tribute to George:

What a nice photo!

I'm hoping to hear something too, Perl.  Fingers crossed!!!

I just moved a couple of weeks ago and some of my mail was lost.  I just ordered my copy of PM II since I think it will get thru the mail to me now.   I also ordered a copy of Greatest Hits II to replace a copy that has a couple of songs that skip.

Still can't wait to hear the new record.

Happy Birthday,BHR - hope you celebrate the day with friends and family (and some AJ music).  : 0 ) 
 

GRRRRRRR......

One of the great country artists for sure.  I'm sure Alan has a heavy heart.

Sympathies to his friends, fans and loved ones.

R.I.P.

Hello, folks - I just saw this thread as I've been off the site (mostly) for a couple of weeks. (I've been moving). I came on to buy AJ's new album, Precious Memories II - I thought hearing that wonderful voice singing some words of faith may help me get thru this cruel week here in Boston.  

Thank you all so much for your prayers and kind words of support.   It means so much to all of us here.  

Along with a ride on the Boston Swan Boats & cheering on the Red Sox on opening day at Fenway Park, attending the annual Boston Marathon is a long-standing tradition here.  I spent many Marathon Days standing on the sidelines cheering on and passing water to passing runners.   I grew up about 10 minutes from the bomb site and worked in the building next to where the bomb was left.   But, like other Bostonians, I will always have fond memories of Marathon Day spent with family & friends.

This past Monday, 3 young lives were taken by a terrorist - a boy aged 8 years old, a 27 year old student from China and a young lady of 29.  All had their young lives taken from them in an instant by a selfish act of cowardice.    Dozens of others are still hospitalized with life-threatening injuries.  These were all real lives whose loss impacts real family members and real friends.  

Some of the marathoners who were able to finish the 24 mile race, continued on and ran the extra couple of miles to the nearest hospital to donate blood for the victims, without so much as pausing to catch a breath.  Those are the citizens I know & for this, I know we will preservere.  We're a community generous in spirit and compassion.  

Please continue to pray for us and for the families who lost their young sons and daughters - those who's lives were extinguished on Monday.   Thank you all for your expressions of kindness.

God help us all.  

Nevermind...... she just sent me a another email.  It's Tim McGraw....
She better get her good lookin' country boys straight. grrrrrrrr.......

My sister just sent me an email saying she heard a radio commercial that AJ will be at the Comcast Center and that tix. go on sale tomorrow.   I can't find anything about this show (and ticket sales).  Is she hearing things? 

Help!

Nice gift - maybe I'll pick one up for my Mom for Easter.   I know she'd like it.

Besides buying thru the fan club - can this be purchased only at Target?   

Just getting back to Boston after having a wonderful time in Nashville and Memphis.  I know why Southerners are known for their hospitality - lovely, friendly welcoming people.  For all the Southerners here, thank you for making us feel at home.

The highlight for both my friend Susan and I was the Alan Jackson concert at fabulous Ryman Auditorium.   Our trip was planned around this concert so needless to say, it was the highlight of the whole trip.  It was well worth every penny we spent to get there.

We had great seats down front (Alan's daughters were sitting right behind us).  We met other AJ fans from his fan forums so it's great to put faces with names.  We saw the girls hold up the GOOD TIME cards and saw Alan acknowledge all of you.  

I bought a Tshirt and Hatch Show poster for the show that they were selling in the lobby.  (All proceeds from the show merchandise and tickets benefited the Color-rectal Cancer foundation).  I was ecstatic when Alan signed my poster from the stage before he left for the night.  I just bought a new house and it will be framed and have a place of honor there.

I took a bunch of photos so when I get settled I'll post them (even photos of my gal, Minnie Pearl's hat taken during the tour of the Ryman).
