I'm a Canadian too from way back as a kid in Toronto. But now I'm
awaiting big handsome Alan and the Strayhorns to let us have some of
that wonderful warm music in Windsor or at The Palace of Auburn Hills.
I'm waiting and watching and hope he'll be fine on his trip to Australia and
Canada.
I know you're waiting in Toledo. I hope he'll go there for you too, and
come to Michigan for me. Let's wish really hard!!!!!!!!!!

The reason I ask for Casino Windsor or the Palace is that I need an
elevator. Pine Knob (DTE) takes a wheel chair and much walking for whomever comes
with me so I like the places with the elevators and then I am not such a
burden on my daughters who is are kind to take me. They love Alan also
so it's a big treat for her. Putting up with your old mom isn't always easy. One of
the girls comes in from CT to take me sometimes.

Gayle you are so sweet BUT it is not looking good here. Even if he makes it to Sudbury tonight, they would have to travel with those big trucks to Oshawa for my show and with the snow storm expected they may have to ooh...um...how do I say that 6 letter dirty word.....cancel. Also my hubby and I have a terrible head cold...........thanks for the kind words. I'll keep everyone posted....

We're praying for you, Gwen, and others that are supposed to see him this week. Hope the storm isn't as bad as predicted for the travelers. Pray that all travelers are safe. Leslie

I was talking to the venue in Oshawa and they say the storm is supposed to start around 9 p.m in the Sudbury area and it is at least an 8 hour drivefrom there to Oshawa with those big trucks so it is going to depend. Guess we'll know by late tonight if Oshawa is cancelled.

This is Wednesday morning 7am. I live about 15 minutes away from the GM Center in Oshawa. It looks like we did not get all the snow they predicted through the night. I know we are expecting more through the day today. But so far we are not getting as much as they first predicted, so I think we will be able to see Alan tonight. They were saying that we might have a snow day at work today, but I called the emergency line and all is a go. So it can't be that bad. I took the day off today anyways because I had alot of things to do, so it doesn't really matter to me. I don't know about other areas in Southern Ontario, especially on the west side of Toronto, they might be getting more.
Gwen, I don't know who mentioned to you that Sudbury is 8 hours away, but it is only 5 hours away. My step daughter lives in Val Therese. That is about 20 minutes north of Sudbury and it usually takes us about 5-1/2 hours to get there. But with this weather it might take him a little longer. I know Sudbury wasn't getting this storm, it looks like it goes as far as Parry Sound. So he could be in it for at least half of his trip. Travel safely today Gwen and all others who are coming to the show in Oshawa. See you all tonight. Alan and his crew are probably already down here staying somewhere.

Today it is sunny and it stopped snowing about 8:00 and the wind has died down. Last night, it was ugly, snow, wind. We only got about 6-8 inches in my area, will vary from 8-14 in the area. Plows had a hard time keeping up, but should be able to get to most, if not all, of the streets today. All schools and some businesses closed for the day today, so there was little to no traffic to bother the plows. Hope it just passed everyone and the concerts and go on as planned, sounds like they will. That Alan Jackson, must have some kind of lucky charm that he carries, always seems to avoid the bad weather. Hope it continues. Leslie
