Last night was unbelievable.  The day started off great, met several David fans for lunch from various fan sites.  Let see, JH who arranged the luncheon from FOD and fellow fodders, Kalei, not sure of the spelling, from Hawaii.  Maggie and her friend from the Golden Archies who kept breaking into song, by the way Angelica, Maggie says to say hi to you.  She had been wondering what had happened to you, I filled her in about The Voice…lol I met sweet Sweet-on-da, had a great time chatting with her and her nice sister,  desertrat and her friend.  It is definitely true what they say about David fans, they are the nicest warmest people around.

Very nice venue and VIP area, chatted with Mikesd, robertla, Monica, shared David perfume with Ann Margaret, shared tears with Marylu and so many others.  It’s like a huge extended family.

We were taken to the venue for our acoustic set, in comes David all glowy and smiley.   He has such a sense of humor, he said he wasn’t going to ask us what we wanted him to sing because no one can agree.   He needs to record Mary Did You Know, it was the most soul piercing, tear inducing rendition I have ever heard and a very soulful Chestnut song (what he calls it).  They asked the questions and the one that stood out for me was, “What brought about the writing of the song Don’t Tell Me and if he will ever sing it?”  He didn’t think he’ll ever sing it but who knows.  The reason that song came about because he was being told he needed to change himself, do things a certain way, do this, don’t do that to make it in the business and he disagreed.  He was and is so wise.  Then picture time.

Hi David hand outstretched, I’m Patty from El Monte, he says hi as he takes my hand.  You have been such an inspiration to me and I appreciate who you are and all you do.  I had this made for you. I handed him a silver chain with hook and a small plaque engraved with, May God’s Angels Always Protect You, “The Voice”.  I place it in his hand, he put it close to his face and read it, looks at me and says”awww thank you”  I told him he is “The Voice” so much so that several of us created a new fan site called “The Voice” as I pointed to the button pinned on me.  His green crystal emerald eyes open wide and says “Really, that’s nice, wow”

I then started speaking to him in Spanish, I said,” La mujer mas importante de nuestras vidas, (The most important woman in our lives) my tweet, he said” mi madre, I remember that, I tweeted you”.  I was ecstatic!  I told him that was the second time he responded to me in Spanish, if he wanted to make it a third, to tell me something in Spanish, he went hmmmmmmm “Hola” and started laughing, I told him that he was being funneee, that that wasn’t fair as I held his forearm he just laughed harder.  Then Kristen cut in told us to get ready for the picture, we put our arms around each other still giggling, I’m afraid to look at that picture.  I turned we hugged,  he said thank you so much again, I said he owed me one, he laughed, I walked away still in archuheaven.  At least a couple dozen people wanted to know what I said to him to make him laugh like that.  We stood and just watched him until picture time was over…sigh.

I was lucky enough to get a front row center seat, my family got there, I said my hellos and went back to my seat.  Benton did a short set, sorry not short enough for me.  David came out to a thunderous noise, I looked back, everyone was standing and screaming.   The loudest I have heard so far at a David concert, it was like that all night.   He’s letting go of those dance moves a little more, ok a need to fan girl, he was gorgeous!  Ok..every song, every note was perfection, ALTNOY beyond words, everyone sang along to Crush, The Riddle and Fields of Gold, my new favorite crying songs.   I love Melodies of Christmas, especially with David rocking out to it, the ending to Pat a Pan and Riu Riu Chiu are to die for, The First Noel, Ave Maria, and Oh Holy Night were journeys to heaven via David, just an amazing night.  At one point we were so loud, he looked at Steve and Steve smiled and gave him a thumbs up.  The band never sounded better, the backup vocals and music are tight.  It had to come to an end.  On my way out hugging was going on everywhere, until next time from everyone, what a feel of community.

My family, we finally found each other, my daughter said he was great, that his stage presence and his manner is so honest.  My granddaughter couldn’t believe how loud it was and how much older he looks.  This is their fourth time.  My sister said she could feel his energy from where she was sitting, that it glows from him and what a voice, she said he almost sings as good as our father teasingly…lol  She said he is really good.  My mom wanted to know his age again because he sings so good, she said “His voice is so mature and his Ave Maria is like an angel singing.”  Then she went into protective mode.  “How many more concerts does he have?  Is he going to sing these songs at all of them?  He needs to take care of that voice, he’s young.   When is he going to do the Spanish album?  I hope soon.” “Oh and he sure is good-looking”, and something else I better not say…lol

Do you like water?

It was like having three concerts rolled into one, the pop, the organic, and the Christmas.  It was a wonderful experience that we plan to repeat, hopefully sooner than later.

Oh BTW…I have a two-thirds drank water bottle…guess who’s?
