Mr. Collin Raye,

I am a 68 year old woman who lives in a wheel chair with a myriad of health problems.   My dear husband brought me to your concert Monday night with our youngest son and his wife.    I used to live in Branson and saw many performers and enjoyed them so much.    However, your intimate performance touched me so deeply that I just had to write and tell you.     We enjoyed each and every song you sang and just loved what you did with Bridge over Troubled Waters and also the Billy Joel number.

The songs you made famous were all beautiful.  I cried when you sang She's gonna fly and the beautiful song about your grandaughter.   They were all just perfect and cheered me so much.    It must make you feel good to be able to do that to people.  To give them hope and such joy.    I left feeling so positive and happy.

I have always liked your songs but now I am a BIG FAN because I felt your heart and soul last night.    When we got outside I thought I was the only big boob about the music but I could see my daughter in law had cried and she said to me "I would go again tomorrow."     I would too.     We will be watching for you to come again.

By the way, your piano player is just fantastic and I hope you will let her know.    The guitarist was super too.

Well, thank you for taking the time to read this.   I don't usually write fan mail but in this case I felt like I should.
