Yeah, John was having a good time!

*I* was having a GREAT time! Totally in my element, so to speak. Love doing all the video and photography, plus I was the escort for John when he went around to all the interviews. It was very cool this year because Dorla came along too, which she never does. I know John appreciated that... always nice to have your spouse involved in what you do.

For all you girls out there: Dorla and I really got some great hang time this year - we hit up our favorite shopping spot: Goodwill! hahaha... truly, we did, and found some great bargains on high-end name brand clothes. It's like a treasure hunt when you go to Goodwill - you just never know what you might find! :D This was the biggest Goodwill I have ever been to... I was in Seventh Heaven! lol!

Ok, back to the real topic: The audio quality on Wake the Dead was rather bad, but we will be getting a GOOD (or better) quality video soon... in fact, I have TONS of video from those days. I just have to get it on a DVD and ship it on over to Trodland to play with and share.

I'm not up on video processing at all, so Trodland's the man!

But yeah - John was in great voice, which is really amazing considering all the miles he's put on his vocal chords. Plus he rarely practices - how DOES that guy keep in shape, vocally?

I don't know how he does it but John is truely the most gifted and talented singer I have ever heard - ESPECIALLY when you consider how great his voice has remained into his older years. Lots of rockers throats are shredded before they are 40.. I think I've heard you say it best Sue.. like fine wine!! :-)

Now.. when you say you have tons of vid from "those days" are you talking about the mid 90s???

Fine wine... hehehe.... did I show you an "album cover" that a friend of mine made?

It pictures John standing in a champaign glass, with the album title "Fine Wine - Aged to Perfection"

lolol! It is SOOO funny!

when I said "those days" I was referring to GMA Week. Though I DO have video from mid to late '90s of John solo & Petra that I shot. They're probably on petrafiles.com.... I think!

John may be doing more dates with 'that guy'.

He's David Teems, the husband of one of John's publicity agents, Benita Teems.

David has a few albums out too, and he's also a published writer.
