Dear Joe,

Saw your show at the old 'Commodore-Ballroom' in Vancouver this summer; absolutely AMAZING!

My 20-yr. old Son (plays keyboard/guitar in his band) and his girlfriend (bass-player in the band) bought me the ticket for the show; bless their hearts. We all took a ferry over from Victoria (here on Vancouver Island), took a room on Granville then caught your show.

I'll be 50 next March and I've seen many great shows in my day ( 'Stones' in 71'/Vancouver; 'Elton' in 73'/Montreal; 'Supertramp'...'Fleetwood Mac'...to name but a few); your show is among the best I've seen. I Love your music!

I can only imagine how busy you are; so I'll keep this short. I thought I"d try this idea (the 'Interact' thing) as a means to contact you. With a little luck, maybe I'll hear back from you.

THE NEXT TIME YOU COME TO VANCOUVER, BC., "PLEASE" I REPEAT - "PLEASE" - JUMP ON THE FERRY WITH YOUR CREW AND COME TO VICTORIA!

'BUT WHY?' you ask.

Reason 1) There are thousands of your 'Loyal-fans' here.

Reason 2) If you've never done it, the 1 1/2-hour ferry ride over here through the scenic 'Gulf-Islands' is a trip not soon forgotten.

Reason 3) We've got a brand-new 7000-seat arena for you to blow apart. Rod Stewart and Robert Plante have already played there and by all accounts I've heard, the sound (acoustics in the building) is quite good.

If your Manager is not sure who to contact to set up a gig here, have him/her email me and I'll arrange a contact, if that helps.

I'd kill to see one of your shows again right here in my little town. I hope it will get some consideration.

Looking forward to hearing back from you. Cheers, Terry Anderson
