I was quite overwhelmed by the how wonderful the Rick Fielding Virtual CD Release was, it was like being in a giant hug and I needed a couple of days to 'process it', as Mick said.

It was amazing event! I don't think I can express how special this was so forgive me for being a bit incoherent

It was the folk process at work. From Walking Eagle's suggestion that we have a Virtual CD Release, the idea bounced around and it got bigger and better as Paul Mills added to it, as Borealis chipped in and as CIUT came on board and as Mudcat led the cheering section.

It was all about community. I think the communities in music overlap a bit more than in some walks of life, but this was every group that Rick has been part of coming together for one special evening. It was all the smaller communities melding into one: students, friends, fans, musician, listeners all getting together for the party.

If I go on much more I'll get maudlin, but it really was an amazing evening and I think everyone will remember it it for a long time.

Rick did listen to the whole show, he was waiting up when I got home and wanted to hear all about it. He thought it was wonderful and he was very touched by the warmth and caring and love that came over the airwaves.

Thank you,
