<strong>Linda</strong>, I am a total fan through and through and as many<br />
times as I have seen you, heard you and met you for your<br />
autograph backstage, you are as kind and as gracious as can<br />
be. It is with so much admiration for you, that I thank you<br />
for taking the time to speak to us... your sometimes crazy,<br />
lunatic fans. Just know that we appreciate every second that<br />
you spend with us. There is NO ONE like you; you are a rare<br />
gem and we are lucky to have found you!<br />

I have never done this before but I must. Last night my husband<br />
and I and friends of ours saw your performance at California<br />
State University-Northridge and it was a FANTASTIC show.<br />
My husband and I fell in love with you a few years ago when we<br />
saw you on TV. I think the program was Ladies Sing Broadway<br />
Tunes. Something to that effect. You sang "Man of La Mancha"<br />
and it blew his mind. Needless to say I bought our first CD of<br />
yours the very next day. Your music is always being played in<br />
our house. I have a very hard time picking a favorite song of<br />
yours, but to hear you sing "Vienna," "Gold" and "If I Had My<br />
Way" in person was a real treat. Thank You. Your musicians are<br />
amazing too.<br />
This past year was a very challenging one for my husband. He<br />
had to have chemotherapy and radiation treatments for more<br />
than half of the year. He is fine now. I wanted to give him<br />
something really special for Christmas and his birthday, which is<br />
Dec. 26th, and I was having a hard time thinking of something.<br />
When I saw the ad for your show at CSUN in the LA Times<br />
Calendar Section, I knew what that gift would be. I called the<br />
very next day and got the best tickets for your show. Keeping<br />
the secret until Christmas was the hard part.<br />
Thank you so much for your beautiful music. Your voice is truly<br />
amazing. Your range is awesome. You are also very beautiful to<br />
watch and your new hair color is great too. Last night was so<br />
wonderful and my husband was in heaven. We are looking<br />
forward to your new CD and anything else you will be doing.<br />
Keep it up.<br />
Our daughter lives in New York City and we go to visit a lot. If<br />
you ever do another Broadway show, and we hope you do, you<br />
can be sure we will be there.<br />
Wishing you a wonderful year full of love and happiness.<br />
Thank you <strong>Linda</strong>! This was my 33rd concert. I look<br />
forward to my 34th, 35th, and as many more as possible<br />
until the day you retire! But PLEASE don't! You were<br />
gracious, kind, considerate, and 100 times more beautiful<br />
in person. You are the most sincere and real celebrity I<br />
have ever met. Thank you for making that evening, if I<br />
may borrow a line from one of your songs, "The best time<br />
of my life!"<br />

Virginia D. Zaiss from Arizona writes…<br />
After attending your concert in Las Vegas last<br />
December (an 80th birthday present from my son), I<br />
wanted to write to you about the joy your CDs bring me.<br />
As all of us do, I have some big problems in my life<br />
and when I need a little help getting through the day,<br />
I play one of your albums and I'm on my way again. I<br />
don't attend church any more, and I feel as though I<br />
am in God's presence when I hear you sing —<br />
particularly "Bridge Over Troubled Water." The first<br />
concert I attended (another gift from John for<br />
Christmas) was in California (February, 2004). I didn't<br />
think it could be as good as my CDs, but I sat there<br />
with tears in my eyes hearing your beautiful voice.<br />
My computer was a gift from my two sons for this<br />
past Christmas. Now I can look up people who<br />
interest me — and write a fan letter to you.<br />
Oh yes, one other connection between us — my<br />
grandfather had a summer home near Gull Lake back<br />
in the 1950s and I went fishing with him (he kept<br />
even the little ones!).<br />
Thank you again for the beautiful music you have<br />
shared with me.<br />

It is my first time reading THE VOICE newsletter and I<br />
must say it is great! I am a huge fan of <strong>Linda</strong> <strong>Eder</strong><br />
and I am looking forward to her new album. I am a<br />
singer myself and I learn something new every time I<br />
listen to <strong>Linda</strong>. Thank you for allowing me to be part<br />
of <strong>Linda</strong>'s life and career. Please tell <strong>Linda</strong> that she is<br />
the best female singer out there. Listening to her sing<br />
is like looking into the face of God. Thank you again.
