Gord,

I was given this opportunity to send you a personal message and so here goes!

Simply put, your music makes me happy. It lifts my spirit when my spirit needs lifting, it brings me to beautiful places when I need an escape, it stirs wonderful memories of days gone by, and it makes me feel certain there will be many more beautiful days yet to come. I yearn to experience the places and things you have written about, and I know your songs have helped me to appreciate the beauty in everything from a carefree feeling, to a train whistle, to a soft and fuzzy pussywillow. Your music never gets old--I listen to it every day. It gives me peace.

Your voice is like a special friend all my own. The lyrics and melodies you have given us over the years are amazing. You are a one-of-a-kind, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you--you have touched my life in more ways than you will ever know. The world is a better place because of you.

I also wanted to send my heartfelt wishes for a speedy recovery from your recent health problems. I was present during the midst of it, at your Minneapolis concert on Sept. 17th. Despite everything you were going through,what a performance you gave us! I have heard from more than one person that it was one of the best concerts they had ever attended. It was a special evening for me, and I will be eternally grateful that I was able to be a part of it.

Finally, I wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope your day is wonderful, and I know you will be surrounded by thousands of your closest friends for the concert that evening!

You will always be in my thoughts and prayers. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, and God bless.

Love,

Ruth in Wisconsin
