My name is Katie Phelan and I am 13 years old. I have been going to <strong>Linda</strong> <strong>Eder</strong> concerts for about as long as I<br />
can remember. (A special note from Mom: Katie was 4 years old when she first heard <strong>Linda</strong> sing. Katie loved the<br />
song "No One Knows Who I Am" from JEKYLL & HYDE and kept asking her mom, "Why doesn't she know who<br />
she is?!"). In the first grade, I had my first picture taken with her at The Strand Theater in York, Pennsylvania. I<br />
was happy to meet her, and I was very shy. I just stared at her in awe when she talked to me. I was thinking,<br />
"Wow, the lady that was on stage is talking to me!" while looking at how pretty she was. The ladies who were<br />
around us thought it was cute while I smiled and continued staring at her. I felt very special to have met her.<br />
My mom loves <strong>Linda</strong>'s music and I like to go to concerts with her. She often plays <strong>Linda</strong>'s CDs around the house,<br />
so that is what I grew up listening to! Whenever I bring friends home from school, they go home knowing about<br />
<strong>Linda</strong> <strong>Eder</strong> and some of them end up buying the CD and get their entire family hooked. My friends and I love the<br />
"Man of La Mancha" song and would try to sing the high notes. I have even taken some of my friends to<br />
concerts. They all loved it and we listened to their favorite songs on the car ride home!<br />
I have also met very nice people at <strong>Linda</strong>'s concerts and enjoy talking to everyone around me. It is a great<br />
experience and I always look forward to seeing <strong>Linda</strong> friends. It is fun to talk to others that love <strong>Linda</strong> like I do!<br />
It is also amazing to learn about different people who have the same interests as you.<br />
I have also been giving my teachers <strong>Linda</strong> CDs and I cannot even begin to count how many times they have<br />
come up to me, thanked me, and told me how they listen to the CD in the car every day. I have even heard<br />
some of them humming <strong>Linda</strong> tunes in class!<br />
It makes me feel good to see a person's reaction when they first hear <strong>Linda</strong>'s voice and I can compare myself to<br />
them. My religion teacher loved her so much, she played the Christmas CD in class, and she very rarely plays<br />
music in class. My friends thought it was cool to hear a <strong>Linda</strong> CD, since they've heard so much about her from<br />
me. I do listen to other types of music, but because <strong>Linda</strong> is so good, I keep coming back to hers. She is the only<br />
singer I have not stopped listening to. The other singers get old and boring after a while, but never <strong>Linda</strong>!<br />
The Christmas Concert is really fun to go to. I think that <strong>Linda</strong>'s Christmas CD is the best! I have heard other<br />
Christmas CDs, but none compare to <strong>Linda</strong>! I always have a blast going to concerts and learning all the words to<br />
her new songs! I am always smiling when a song is playing in my head, because I'm always happy! I always look<br />
on the positive side of things, and <strong>Linda</strong>'s songs never fail to brighten my day! I don't have a particular favorite<br />
song because I just love all of them! <strong>Linda</strong> makes my life more fun and exciting! She is great and a fantastic<br />
person. I really look up to her. I love you, <strong>Linda</strong>!<br />
