Marie,

Joey Carenza also did a great montage of pictures during the tour. It is always so wonderful to see the photos taken from an 'insider's' perspective. One gets to see what was important enough, to them at different points in time, to have wanted to take a snapshot. Sharon's song and photos are absolutely lovely - just like the lady herself!

Thank you so much for posting them!

Kindest regards,
Mary

Aha! You two are the ones I was thinking of who met Sharon whilst you were out and about 8) . Such a serendipitous moment. Great photo of two wonderful, very natural women. Super photo of the three of you, too. One you treasure, I know :D . Thanks for posting them, Wijbe. Sharon sure looks good on Hydra, too, doesn't she. I had a feeling they'd sneak onto the island at some point ;-) . It's exciting seeing it in that context.

I loved the shot of Leonard looking pensively out of the aircraft window.

Yes, I liked that, too. All the many many thoughts that could have been occupying his mind.

Yes! Me too. I'm sure on a seemingly never-ending tour you need those pensive moments for regrouping. Sharon did an excellent job of blending the images and the music....ending with the setting sun reflecting off the aircraft wing. Thanks Marie for sharing this. It is so lovely and relaxing I'm sure I will return to it many times!

All the best,
Diana

Indeed - and they clearly avoided some of us fans who were most likely there at that time! ;-)

Cheers

One thing I really like about you, Andrew, is your positive view on things. I'd have said that the fans were dumb enough not to see them. ;-)

Fans are a pain in the ass for most artists.

That's why we have SO much to be grateful for, that when Leonard and Sharon have had chance encounters with their fans, they have been incredibly friendly and gracious. By no means in any many situations has this been the norm with any number of other artists, who have perfected the brush-off.
