Wow!
What a fantastic article. Thanks for this Char. It's sorta what I needed to hear today.

That guy is truly amazing. How could you not be drawn to a man of his stature, coming out like he does, baring his soul, just laying everything out there on the line.

What an inspiration!

I couldn't be more honest by saying that for me he's been a guiding light, as I'm sure he would be for many, more so for me though in his later years, as I'm getting up there into that age group and not without my own health issues.

He seems to have that amazing capacity to know just how to pull it off and achieve the maximum amount of success, very much the same way he's done over the years in his songwriting.

These upcoming Massey Hall shows will have a strong feeling of sentimentality for me knowing that I will once again be living in Toronto.

It just occurred to me that this is "Good Friday" and as far as Fridays go, this has to be as good as it gets.

Many good blessings to all.

RJ.
