Wow, what a great question.... one of the best here on Corfid.

I liked reading all of your comments also. Very good. You all brought out some interesting points and I agree with all of you.

There are good points in all categories. I have favorites from each one.

GL has given my family great joy through the years. It is neat to see my 14 year old boy and his friend listen to his songs constantly. GL's songs ARE timeless.

I have great memories from each category. I have been patient lately and hung around after the show to meet him and that has been unbelievable for me. Like a number of you said, he is very humble....but very relaxed these past years.

There have been times in the past where GL has seemed apprehensive on stage, though he sounded great. There must have been a lot of pressure on him, whether it was personal or business....But everytime I saw him, he sounded great on stage.

GL has helped me through out my life with his music. And if you have been able to study him closely through the years, you can learn from him. I have... and I am still learning from him.
