Richmond, Va. February 28th, 2008
This will be the MOST memorable concert of my life! I flew across the country (2836 miles) from my home, to meet up for the concert with my friend Gayle. I bought us front row seats, a thank you for her hospitality. I flew in two days before the show, to see a bit of her hometown, Williamsburg. The day before the concert, I got a message from my husband, to call home. To our surprise, Erv's office had called, looking for us, that they had 2 Meet & Greet passes for us!! OMG! We were absolutely floored! We screamed, I dropped to the floor in disbelief and then kicked my feet up in the air with glee! So after 24 hrs. of butterflies in our tummies, we drove to Richmond and decided to stay overnight next to the Coliseum. There we met up with Karen F. and her girlfriends for a drink before the show. We got ready and walked over to the venue, picked up our passes, and anxiously waited for Sarah Johns to quit singing...LOL. Met Donna W. at the show too, she was 2 rows behind us. We went over to where we were told to be, and the rest is history! We went in, and got in the back of the line-up. We each got a few moments to talk with George, have a photo taken, and get an autograph. He is such a kind, caring, gentle man! He is even more handsome close-up! Mmmm ! I got to pose a little longer with my arm around his waist as the flash on my camera did not go off the first time. George says to the girl taking photos, "You better fix that". "Oh darn" I said out loud...and squeezed him a little tighter...LOL... Gayle was fortunate to get some of her prints signed, then she asked if the 3 of us could get a photo together, good thinking girl!! Then just like that, it was over...we left the room and just embraced each other...what a moment...one we will never forget...
...and I am so glad to have shared it with my friend Gayle.
George changed into a beautiful blue plaid shirt, came out and sang his heart out!!
