Thank you Marc! I know what u mean with the on the road stuff... but I have no 'home family' to go home to. My kids are grown and have kids of their own, my ex is my ex, my parents of course are at home (but not my home, thankfully). You truely have much to be thankful for. As do I. I have a job which many people (and increasingly more every day) do not. I get to travel with my job. I have friends which I've had for many years... and W. Shakespear was right when he said, "Our friends are the family we choose for ourselves"... I have confidence that I will find the right woman one day (or she will find me),and she will put up with me. But I shall not hold my breath and shall enjoy my being single while I am. The bailouts, the political goodbyes too long in their arrival, the economy... We can only hope and have faith that it will turn out eventually for the better.
So who is this guy that writing all of this stuff to you (and thanks for your patience with me if you've come this far). We've met. I worked at a 'Port of Entry' on the Utah/Wyoming border. I was working the Wyoming side, assuring that the heavy vehicles had all of the requirments for travelling Utah. I looked at the registration for your bus, and asked you what band you had on. You said, "Marc Cohn"... I said, "I've never heard of him... Is he any good?"... you smiled and said, "You would have to hear it"... to which I asked, "What kind of music does he play?" Again you smiled and said, "You really would have to hear it." I told you I had an 8 x 10 glossy collection going and asked you if you thought Marc would mind parting with one. You said you may have one on the bus and started toward the bus. I walked with you. You emerged from the bus with a picture of yourself and my jaw (I imagine now) about hit the ground. You asked me to turn around and I did... and you autographed the 8 x 10 on my back. I still have it and will always. I've since purchased everything you've done. I am a big fan. Thank you for introducing me to your music... and thank you for your kindness on the road. You have a wonderful holiday season.
 

greetings of the season, Marc!! Best to you in the coming year..
 

Dear Marc, I was unaware that you were Jewish. I do not have a Bias towards you now in that discovery, however, I have a hard time when I understand the bible that Jewish people didnot and do not see christ as SAVIOR> I would like to talke to youabout it. I believe that your "LET ME BE YOUR WITNESS SONG" was TOTALLY CHRISTIAN IN VIEWS OF OUR SAVIOR JESUS................. YOU NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE AND ALL.. I HAVE MET YOU.......... AND HAVE PICTURES WITH YOU........... NOT THAT YOU WILL REMEMBER. BUT i THOUGHT THAT YOUR MUSIC/POETRY WAS GOD INSPIRED. NOW I AM CONFUSED. MOST JEWS ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE MESSIAH...........I BELIEVE HE HAS BEEN HERE ONCE ALREADY. DONT YOU. I GUESS NOT....................... I AM VERY PICKY ABOUT MY MUSIC AND EVERTHING ELSE I ENDULDGE IN............. PLEASE RESPOND.. I WOULD LIKE A DIALOGUE WITH YOU.... I KNOW YOU ARE A QUOTE BUSY MAN...............................LOL SO AM I PLEASE MAKE TIME FOR ME.............................I FEEL WERE IN THE END TIMES...........CALL ME CRAZY IF YOU WILL.................... SO BE IT................ GOD BLESS YOU..............WHAT A GREAT POET AND MUSICIAN........... AND WISE........................ GODBLESS......
 

Merry Christmas, Happy Channukah, and Happy New Year to you also! And about that holiday CD (A Jew for You At Christmas) ... what a wonderful and special CD that would be! So think about it, and quickly put your thinking into action! :)

You're an extra special person ... what an inspiration you truly are.

Sincerely,
Thereasa
