Am enjoying the recap so far, Marcie. The picture is fantastic. You look great! Can't wait for more.
P.S. Don't worry about the guitar pick. I appreciate your trying for me. :*

THE SHOW!!! I just cannot tell you how much I loved this show. If it is in your area, Go, Go, Go!elebenty-one! Caitlin Crosby is one sweet chick!! I so love her message about the flawz we all have. (Sorry! Maybe not you!) I absolutely adored every song that she sang. Big, bold and heartfelt.... a winning combination! (I had a very small view because of the inconsiderate people in front of me. Sorry, trying to be supportive.) After Caitlin was finished, I scampered to the back because I wanted to support her message. She personalized my friend's EP. I also bought one of her necklace messages...."Hope"....She was right beside me and asked if she could take a picture of the necklace for her parents. I told her to go for it....as long as my saggy neck or face were not included. Sorry that I have not completely embraced her message. It is hard. (Have you seen my neck?) ) Jason was soon to start............

Jason. What can I say? His voice has become so rich!! Everyone that will still see him perform are richly blessed! My friends were genius, because we ended up standing on the bench. There is no other way that I could have seen the show. The floor was absolutely packed..He called us sardines. And we were. I feel so blessed that I was there!! I posted his set earlier..... During Somewhere Over the Rainbow, someone yelled, "Stephen, you rock!!" Cute. After his set, I booked!!! I asked some of us to form lines. Was not happening.

On the way to see Jason, Mandy was standing right in the open. Jason walked up and whispered in her ear, and planted a little kiss on her cheek. He was gone in a flash, but I was left saying...."Wait, I was right here, he could do that to me, too!" I asked her how she was feeling, and she said, "OK". Then I asked her how she liked touring, and she said that she wasn't sure at the beginning, but she was really enjoying it. She is poster child for "sweet!" It was so hard to get to see Jason. It was elbow to elbow. I got in line behind peachez and mickey. Peachez had a special original drawing. Jason was so sweet with her. When it was my turn, I asked him to personalize my purchases. He was very accomodating. (I'm thinking that he is other-worldly.....) I talked with him about the writing acknowlegements on the EP. I OCD about it. Then I said, "I have two more words....Jim Croce!" Then he said, "I know who you are!" Sweet! Went back to talk to Mandy. I mentioned Jim Croce, and she was off about how much her dad loved Jim Croce, and how much her dad would die if Jason covered him. Made me feel really good. I believe that Jason and Mandy are a match made in heaven. She has the same special aura around her.

They mentioned that Jason would be taking a break while Matt was performing. Many had already cleared out. I was left to believe that others would have left except to meet Jason later.
I really enjoyed Matt's set. I was on my feet and grooving the whole time. He has many devoted fans, and is one sweet man! Even though I had already purchased his CD on iTunes, I bought another one. I wanted to show him a little love. I told him that I probably would not know about him, if it were not for Jason. The truth!!

Gramma I'm loving you're recap so far! I can't believe how it must have felt being elbow to elbow with Jason fans... I'm sure you were feeling the love. Part of me is content that I wasn't able to go bc if there were that many people mentioned I know I wouldn't be able to be see the show & it probably would ruin the night for me.. BTW I was always hearing about Jim Croce here but was drawing a blank at who he was and what he sang so I had to go check him out for reassurance & I know exactly who he is....Jason needs to cover him.
