	sparkleshan	I drove all the way from Virginia to see you in New York. It was such an amazing show! Thank you! It was indeed an honor to meet you, Chantal, Jared, Randy,Kevin, Jared, and David. I had the absolute time of my life!!! =)   Posted by sparkleshan on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:23 PM [Reply to this]

	Emmmm!	I was fortunate enough to jump on the tunnel bus from Windsor and catch the show at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit and I must say it's one of the better shows I've been to in some time! Both David Ford and Jared Paul were excellent additions to the night, and Jared's words and performance were quite inspiring. "The room is filled with walking libraries"...brilliant. And of course after a long 6 year gap between watching OLP perform in Sarnia at Bayfest, and watching you perform this past Saturday Raine, I can only say that time has agreed with your already marvelous talent. I'm glad to hear this is just the beginning, and I look forward to seeing the live footage, as well as any other future endeavours that might bring you back to the Windsor/Detroit area. Cheers!

	Connie	I really loved the Toronto show! Billy the Kid was awesome. She is going to hit it big. I can't wait until a live DVD or CD comes out, seeing you all live was electrifying. Thanks for an awesome experience! ROCK ON!   Posted by Connie on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:26 PM [Reply to this]

	louie	My girlfriend and I drove to London from Detroit to watch the show. It was one of the best live shows we have ever seen. To watch Raine get up on a speaker and get the crowd into it sent chills up my spine. We thought it would be better to see him in Canada, rather then in Detroit, people are nicer in Canada. I got to meet Jared and tell him that I wish more people could say what he said, but here in the states people don't want to listen. Thank you for the experience Raine, Jared, and Billy the Kid.(Thanks for the autograph). Louie   Posted by louie on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:29 PM [Reply to this]

Please, please come back soon! :) ~Lindsay   Posted by Lindsay on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:34 PM [Reply to this]

I look forward to hearing more from you in this element of solo-hood. I love OLP don't get my wrong but this is just something different and moving in a whole new way. I can't thank you enough for everything you have done in my life. You've be there for years now always playing my pick me up. I appreciate it! Because you mean so much to me and have done so much for me my one and a half year old daughter is name Tatum Raine. Just thought I would share abit! All the best!

	Michael	Hi Raine, Was at the show in MTL and I must say you rocked the house! I'm not surprised though as I didn't expect anything less. I love you, MTL loves you. Great show, I wouldn't change a thing! You and Chantal are the real deal. Trying to make a difference and succeding tremdously, in my opinion anyway.

	INDIECAN MUSIC	Just the beginning indeed. During your performance at The Phoenix, someone turned to me and said, "some day I will be telling my friends at The Air Canada Centre, I saw this way back when at the Phucking Phoenix. " Now get to work on that Billy The Kid stuff - this summer still feels a long way away.

	melanie melanie lang	aww new york! i love new york! (my husband and I saw OLP there in 1995 at webster hall...still a highlight of my sheltered life..LOL!) have a great last show...but perhaps it could be a last show "for now"...a summer tour would be fantastic! (just putting it out there....) The 2 shows we went to in Kitchener and London were 2 of the best concerts we have EVER been to (and we have been to A LOT) Your solo album is a work of art, and I hope you will do more in the future.... It was such a pleasure to meet both you and Chantal after the shows, thank you so much for taking the time! Thank you so much for introducing us to Billy the Kid and Jared Paul. Amazing artists who's talents were apreicated and inspiring. We will be waiting anxiously for a dvd or any live recording to help us relive this fantastic music! Also, please let us know when/how we can get an mp3 of 21st century blues....my absolute favorite! Take care and we'll see you next time....   Posted by melanie on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:38 PM [Reply to this]

	Andrea	I just wanted to say that I was at the show last night at St. Andrew's Hall in Detroit and it was awesome! I have been to few concerts that were as moving or entertaining. Keep us posted on the live shows you filmed - I'd love to have a CD or DVD copy of a show as good as that one! I hope you go on tour again soon - I saw you in Windsor when you opened on Chantal's tour in 2006 and it was equally good. I would really enjoy going to another concert for you, Chantal or OLP!   Posted by Andrea on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:39 PM [Reply to this]

	H	I saw 2 of your shows this tour, and was blown away!! Billy the kid was outstanding - I can't wait for her cd to come out (until then her demo cd will have to do). Jared Paul is unreal...no other words can describe him!! And of course you and Chantal are a dream team!! Truely inspirational and uplifting. I could watch you two perform together forever!!! Keep up the AMAZING work!   Posted by H on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:39 PM [Reply to this]

	Alta Alta Mayhugh	I'm happy to hear you had a good tour, congratulations :) I've said it before and I'll say it again; I hope you can make it to Chicago or anywhere else in northern or central Illinois soon.

	Chad Chartrand	I can't say enough about your show, I'm still feeling the aftershocks of your performance, and that of Jared's, I had our guitarist Meisha call me up today so that he could find Jared Paul's myspace. Good to hear that this is just the beginning, because some difficult times are coming up ahead.   Posted by Chad Chartrand on Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - 10:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Jenn	Saw your show in Kitchener. It was awesome! I love you and your music so much, and I got the demo cd from Billy the Kid. She rocks! Make her famous, haha. Anyways, I hope you keep doing what you are doing because I want more concerts to go to! I need them because I have to make up for not meeting you at the last one. My friend asked us to stay after but we just headed home, then he tells me he got to meet you and get a picture and all that good stuff, so I'm super pissed and jealous and I don't think I'll get over. Anyway, thank you!!! And congrats on the soon to be new baby.

	JARED PAUL	Big Raine! Hasn't even been a week, and it already feels like forever. I'm writing up a recap of tour and will send it your way as soon as it's done. ALSO: I'd like to thank everyone who posted on this blog for saying such nice things about the tour! It proves to me that the magical feeling i got watching Raine and the band, and Billy, and David, and all the great people in the crowd was REAL REAL REAL. In case any of you were wondering, i really have become a fan myself!! I bought a copy of Hunter's Lullabye on tour without telling Raine (he'd never let me buy it on my own; and i wanted to buy it with my OWN money and support!!), and although i'd heard it online, i love it now more than ever. I've become a fan of him as a person, as a writer of music/lyrics, and as a live performance artist. DID YALL SEE THAT SET THAT THEY DID?!?! FIYYYYAAAAAA, BO BO BO!!!   Posted by JARED PAUL on Sunday, April 06, 2008 - 4:17 PM [Reply to this]

	Christie	amazing show in Buffalo, I look forward to your return!   Posted by Christie on Tuesday, April 08, 2008 - 5:14 PM [Reply to this]

	Bianca	Hey there! I just wanted to say, I hope you enjoyed your tour as much as I did! I was at the Victoria concert, and I was so lucky to have actually been able to be there - I was only in Canada for a few weeks visiting my brother, from Australia, and I was thrilled when I found out you were doing a concert while I was there. Thank you, for timing the tour just right (coincidence, I know, but still), for providing the highlight of my year to this point, and for just being you. It's a longshot, but hopefully you'll make it to Australia one day :) Thanks again :) Bianca   Posted by Bianca on Sunday, April 13, 2008 - 7:10 PM [Reply to this]
