DEAR JAY,

WHAT A LOVELY MESSAGE FOR US TO READ AND YES HERE IN THE UK WE HOPE THINGS ARE SETTLING DOWN A LITTLE BIT WITH THE COVID-19 SITUATION,

I LOVED THE RAH CONCERTS BUT FOR ME THE RFH CONCERTS WERE AMAZING I ALWAYS USE TO TAKE MY MUM AND SHE LOVED THE EVENINGS AND I LOVED GETTING TO THE FRONT OF THE STAGE EVEN USING ARM CRUTCHES AT THE TIME,

I ALSO LIVE IN SUFFOLK SO WHEN DSB COME TO BLICKLING HALL NEAR NORWICH IT WAS SO CLOSE TO ME AND AN AMAZING EVENING I THINK IT WAS 2002,

THE OUTSIDE CONCERTS I WAS NEVER SURE ABOUT AND HOW QUIET THE AUDIENCE WOULD BE OR IF PEOPLE WOULD KEEP CHATTING WHILST SHE WAS SINGING,

THERE WERE I BELIEVE 12 THOUSAND PEOPLE THERE AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY FOOTAGE ON YOUTUBE OF IT I HAD SOME PHOTOS BACK THEN BUT NO VIDEO FOOTAGE,

THE MOON WAS OUT THE MIST WAS ON THE LAKE AND WE HAD A WONDERFUL PICNIC AND YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP AND IT WAS AMAZING AND THANK GOD WE HAVE OUR MEMORIES WHY WE CAN REMEMBER :-)

I NOTICED ALSO YOU PUT ABOUT THE 2005 RVS THAT WAS AMAZING AND YES THAT'S MY NUMBER ONE AND SHE GOT A STANDING OVATION AND I THINK THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME EVER AT A RVS I ALSO LOVED THE 2009
ELECTRIC PROMS AND THE PERFORMANCE ALBUM,

I DID LIKE THE I OWE IT ALL TO YOU ALBUM BUT I THINK THE PERFORMANCE WAS THE BETTER ONE FOR ME BUT AGAIN JUST MY OWN VIEW,

I AM JUST GLAD SHE HAS KEPT GOING AND HAD THE VOICE TO KEEP GOING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SAD IF SHE HAD KEPT SINGING AND WAS NOT AT HER BEST,

I AM SURE YOUR SEEN MANY WHAT I CALL OLDER STARS JUST KEEPING GOING AND GOING AND SADLY THERE VOICES HAVE GONE AND IT MAKES ME CRINGE WHEN YOU KNEW WHAT THEY WERE LIKE WHEN THEY WERE AT THEIR BEST,

LIKE YOU JAY I ENJOY ALL SORTS OF MUSIC BUT THEATRE AND BIG MUSICALS ARE MY THING AND OF COURSE DAME SHIRLEY,

I AM A SINGLE GAY MAN VERY CONTENT AND HAVE MET SONE NICE PEOPLE AT SOME OF THE CONCERTS BUT HAVE HAD LOTS OF HEALTH ISSUES OVER MANY YEARS AND STILL FAIRLY YOUNG AT 54 :-)

I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE MET UP WITH SO MANY MORE PEOPLE YEARS AGO BUT MY HEALTH DID NOT ALLOW IT BUT I HAVE MADE 2 VERY DEAR FRIENDS FROM THIS MESSAGE BOARD,

I ALSO LIKE TO CALL PEOPLE ON HERE FRIENDS EVEN THOUGH WE DONT REALLY KNOW EACH OTHER BUT WE ALL HAVE THAT ONE THING IN COMMON IS OUR LOVE FOR DSB,

ON SOME OF MY DARKER DAY DSB MUSIC TOUCH MY HEART I WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY JAY AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT WITH YOUR HUSBAND,

I HOPE WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN MAKES SENSE I FIND IT A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO EXPRESS MYSELF AND THE LARGE FONT IS ONLY BECAUSE I HAVE SONE VISION ISSUES,

I HAVE NOT SEEN SOLITARE OR GOWN OR MIKEY ON HERE FOR A WHILE SO I HOPE THEY ARE OK AND OTHER FRIENDS ALSO ON THE MESSAGE BOARD,

WELL IF YOUR STILL AWAKE AFTER READING ALL THIS YOU'RE DONE WELL MY BEST WISHES TO YOU JAY AND YOUR HUSBAND,

GOB BLESS YOU ALL,

HOWARD XX
