To my dear fans

Gratitude is my recurring theme.

For all of your generous voices and the outpouring of support for me in every way. Alas, the judge's score could not be overcome for dwts, but I also must say in preparing for dwts I've gotten into the best shape of my life and intend to remain in shape which will only help with my demanding schedule and fresh energy i can bring to the stage! I've read and felt and witnessed the love and its been so overwhelming and revitalizing for me after weeks of rehearsal and training, work and travel and frustrating laryngitis to boot wow a very intense time. After all of it, I'm so happy to be on the road again touring and pouring myself into what I've loved all of my life...... Singing!!! From Tuesday night's concert in Yountville (with Bonnie Raitt in attendance - I've been a huge Bonnie Raitt fan since I can remember!!!!!) to Greely, Colorado tonight. The simple truth being the pure love of singing before a wonderfully loud and fully receptive audience and I am one happy man!!

My love and thanks to you all,
