Gordon has struck a perfect balance IMHO, he talks MUCH about his family, plainly they are important in his life, but he also wisely leaves them at home, and goes back happily to a good home cooked meal when off tour. As I've said before, the one brief glimpse I had of Mrs. Marshall put a big thumbs up for her in MY book. That's all I need to know about him. Better yet, his daughters can attend school without bodyguards.

There is a lot written on all their websites. All you have to do is go out a'searchin'

What's scary is gossip. I can remember when I first got into the fan base back in 1991, and I started writing others on the pen pal list in the OFC newsletter. All the insane unfounded rumors that came back, blblblblbl. Some turned out true, some were pure soap opera garbage. ALL wanted pictures, so that's part of the answer. Some people want nothing more than eye candy. They are content with just the visuals.

Biographies are not always the best reflection of the Person................. case in point, I loved *Amadeus* (the movie) what a shock that was to go see it. Put a whole new perspective to me, that historical characters were real people. A person is so much more than a written biography.

That's super good news there, Libramate. It might even be posted here somewhere already.............. but we always like to stay well informed.

So Libra mate, does that make you also an Aquarius mate, or a Gemini mate too??? Just curious.

leslee don't rely on this site for all your info............. take a turn through my website once in a while.......... specifically the "cruise" thread.......... I tend to be up on all the Justin info. A bit flaky on the others, but I love 'em all. Norda was hanging with someone named Toomey from the Zombies, for example, but I didn't get it over here where it belongs. She was having too much fun looks like! Sigh, I wish Norda could be with Justin on the solos, I love the flute and guitar thing.

The rest of ya'all are welcome of course, but then you'll gossip about me being a bottom feeder.......... it's much more friendly over on TER.

I wonder what Alan will be up to while Justin does his solo thing. Norda said something to that effect. Alan is well thought of by many in the jazz world.... I just haven't had time to track him down.

I haven't had time to listen to the Westbury videos........... but I did think Norda looked really well, and beautiful. She seems happy with her marriage.... a very good thing.

It looks like Mike and Julie will be doing the meet and greet stuff this tour. Spotted a photo of them. That's super nice of Justin actually to let them get the attention.

Well I got the more expensive Yoshi ticket to have a closer seat. Meet and greet.......... you go with the flow there. I would like to meet Julie and Mike super briefly, don't plan to fawn or anything. They seem nice folks.

So dinner in Oakland at 6 pm?? Should I call and confirm the reservations? Or will you be running the streets? we're going Dutch BTW

yes, he's sitting right across the room from me!

We'll sort all that out later. I make no demands, but I'm determined to have one decent dinner at Yoshi's. There's a meet and greet along with those premium tickets... some photos show Justin some do not.... I guess we take it as it comes.

Actually I was worried that the meat and greet would include Lady Gaga

I don't see blonde.... too many in my family. I'm an outlier being a dark haired hussy.

More links for Norda. If you're looking for a CD for a gift, I super recommend her album *Norda* VERY enjoyable.
