I made it into your recording of the Albany, NY concert!!

I haven't posted in a while, but I've been checking in at times to see if there has been any recent news on how Gordon is doing.

Thank you for the great recording (excellent sound quality), and thank you for including my boisterous declaration of love for Gordon on Set 2: "Conversation," Track 08. When I saw this thread, I wondered if I would make it in the recording. Yes, I'm the one who yelled, "Gordon, we love you!"

Just after Gordon speaks about "A Painter Passing Through," he turns away from the audience to drink from his water bottle. It was then that I yelled, "Gordon, we love you!" (See my post from April 2002 when I talked about his Albany concert.) The theater clapped and cheered in agreement.

After some time, Gordon then says, "As I said before, we, like Mr. McCartney, will be on tour all year..." (I have to say that I'm usually much more reserved, but MY MAN made me lose my inhibitions. What more can I say? You know how it is seeing Gordon, ladies.) My brother, who came with me, was ready to crawl under his seat after I yelled.

I like to think it was my "Gordon, we love you" that caused him to enjoy himself so much, to engage in so much conversation with the audience, and to give us two encores.

Matthew, thank you so much for all of your hard work in bringing us this treasure to listen to and for allowing me to relive this wonderful concert (over and over and over).

Loveyagord (That's... [I] love ya, Gord!)
