Day 341: So this happened. I didn't think it could get any better...seeing him play live after thirty years of being a fan...but *meeting* him was an absolute dream come true. What a gracious, kind, lovely man. I, on the other hand, was a complete mess: shaking, trying not to cry, attempting to come across as *not* crazy, and I think I failed miserably. But he was just so lovely. I waited my turn to talk to him after his show this morning, and when it came up I pretty much fell apart. Fighting to keep my voice level and my hands steady as I handed him my CD to sign, I told him I'd been a fan my entire life, I told him how much his and Sharon and Lois' show meant to me, and I asked if I could possibly trouble him for an autograph *and* a picture. He smiled, put his hands on my shoulders and smiled as he said, "You can have whatever you like." And he laughed, pulled me into a hug, and then asked me my name and how old I was. I told him, and I told him I was indoctrinating my nieces and nephews into loving his music, and he told me to keep up the good work. Oh, Friends...I'm so Happy. #crossthatoffthebucketlist #SharonLoisandBram #MariposaLive #365happydays
