Don't have alot of time to spell out the details, but after some advice I got from some of you, I and my wife waited for about an hour with ~12 other fans at the way back side of the Fox theater after the show. He finally strutted out, directly to us all and apologized for keeping us! What a terrific, classy man. He gave signatures and allowed any photos. I was just clicking and trying to ignore my beating heart. He was very relaxed and candid. Had a soft black leather jacket on, looking like any one of us but with great energy. Oh, I know about the jacket because when I told him that Jennifer and I played 'I Will Prove My Love To You' at our wedding and asked for a picture of us three, he said "sure, oh yeah!" then put his arms around both of us with himself in the middle. Wow, talk about needing a clean pair of shorts! It's wild to think back at how fleeting the whole encounter was. So busy, everyone clammering to get their time with him and all that. Wish now that I'd had the video camera. He probably wouldn't have cared at all. A lifetime memory that we hopr to live again next season.

Oh, he said that he just concluded a contract with Warner Bros. and so no new album will be out real soon because they are deciding amongst a few options for a new recording contract.

Wow, you are so lucky! This is something I would only dream of but you describe it just as I imagine it would be. What a wonderful man he must be.
