I went to see her live on 10/11/08 in Asbury Park……the show was phenomenal and her voice is stronger than ever…..but that’s not why I’m posting this…..
after the show I waited outside the stage door hoping to get to say hello…..this will probably be her last tour here in the states and I know I’ll never get a chance to meet her again….now, I’ve interacted with her on her website, like many other fans, and she always seemed gracious…..when she first walked out, I felt my heart skip and I could feel my nerves bundling up…..I patiently waited my turn to get a picture and say hello….when I told her my name, it took a minute but she knew who I was from her website and gave me a huge hug…….it felt good…..we chatted for a while and I could tell that she generally cares about her fans and is sincere…….the whole experience was wonderful and made my night complete…..I’ve always been concerned about meeting someone who’s music I’ve admired for the fear that you can catch them on a bad day or they’re just unpleasant and then enjoying their music is tainted…..I’m happy to say that this was definitely not the case here……..thank you Alison, thank you….
