All of you are very vivid story tellers. And I am soo soo soo soo jealous. I have walked around all day humming "Night and Day".

Yanni, when you were hanging with Haley after she finished singing, what did you talk about? Did you ask her any specifics about being signed again? Did she seem happy with the crowd response to her? In other words, any gossip to share??? Did she say how she chose those songs to sing?

She looked very happy hanging out with you guys!! You lucky dogs you!!

[quote='yanni5' pid='19168' dateline='1355129185']No real specifics or gossip Babbs, just kind of general chatting, she had Chiara and their friends there as well, plus Swan and Pat.

I was pleasantly surprised that Haley knew who Eva was and we chatted a bit about the tragedy of her early demise and what a wonderful singer she was. The most special moment was when I confessed to Haley that Eva Cassidy is one of the few singers who can touch me emotionally, who can touch my heart so profoundly with her voice alone. I told Haley that Haley was a singer like that, one who touches me deeply emotionally. The truly magical part was the way Haley screwed her eyebrows in that wonderful way she does and told me a heartfelt "Thank you." She also took my hand in the two of hers giving me a warm handshake. I'd like to think she appreciated hearing from a fan just how much impact she has and how much she means to all of us. It is a memory I will cherish forever.

I've seen her verbally encourage people before at smaller venues but the song/setting has never seemed right for people to get their groove on. It's clearly something she's been hoping to see. Must be gratifying as an entertainer to know you are energizing the crowd and helping them get lost in the moment.
