[dar-list] Ridgefield CT

[Trish]

Nice Job on the review Sharon. I made it to Ridgefield last night too. 
Sharon looked at me and asked, "What did it take for you to get here?" It 
took a lot of effort. All that mattered to me was that I did get there. So, 
just in case Dar is out there, I wanted to take a few minutes to say thank 
you, because "You're Aging Well" was my request and she told us it wasn't on 
her set list and she had to "detune" her guitar to play it. Just consider 
this a huge E hug and know that if I could be there tonight, I would,. If 
"transcendental love is greater" then transcendental concerts can work too. 
J Have a safe trip. No matter how much effort it takes to get to your 
concerts.you're worth it.
