We already ordered the frame for the banner . Rob was so incredibly gracious. I know we were keeping him and yet he stayed to chat a little. And I can't believe what came out of my mouth - just normal stuff, nothing like what I thought I would say when I had the chance to speak to him. I guess the letter that I wrote him last December that Big Dave gave to him during the HALFORD tour said it all and I don't think that I could have said it to his face without starting to cry. It was better this way. I didn't even think to ask him what he whispers in Sinner! DAMN! He is exactly the man that I thought he was - very sincere and he has such a big heart which of course you can tell in the songs he writes and probably why we all fell in love with him (at least that's why I did). I still can't believe that it actually happened!!!
That is so fantactis HRMG! Rob sounds like such a lovely guy, and that's wonderful the whole band signed your banner. Something to treasure for sure!!!!

We just met the entire band in the hotel this morning in Cleveland!! Glenn and Richie talked to us for quite a while and Glenn asked about our sons. We waited another hour and then Rob came down the elevator. I know he was running late to get to New York, but he stayed and talked to us anyway. He is such a gentleman. Mark told him that I'd been waiting 29 years for a hug and he said, "Well come here - I wouldn't wait 29 years!" But it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT let me tell you!! The entire band signed the banner that we made too. What a perfect way to end our triple Priest feast!!
And I don't care what people say about Rob's voice - at all 3 shows that I went to from where I was standing he was F'ING AWESOME!!! People around us were going nuts and in complete awe by his incredible voice!
