He is touring here now, and booking so many dates here isn't going to change the decision about whether he does Europe in 1999 or not. He's in a no win situation because no matter what he does somewhere there will be unhappy fans. I hope that this issue is put to rest now. No matter what each of us personally got out of it, whether it was the chance to see him 10 times or one time, whether it was front row tix or nosebleed seats, whether it was seeing him on TV or at the Opry or at his gates or at the Walmart in Goodlettesville or outside Jack's Tracks, or whether it was just having the chance to purchase the music that he has put his heart and soul into making for us, it was still more than he ever had to give us. Whatever moments of pleasure we have gotten have been little blessings.
Blessings are gifts.
Will try to get back to it soon. Sometimes life gets in the way. Thanks to all my garthpals for your friendship and support. Garthie hugs to all of you.
