Last night was the Sessions taping.. After a long wait outside to get
it, I finally got to see her. She was probably about 25 feet away. It was
a very intimate setting. She was amazing. Some of the song she sang
included Break Your Heart, Wonder(2times), Frozen Charlotte(2 times), Effigy
(3 times), River, Wonderwall, In the Ghetto, some other Elvis song, When the
ring the golden bells....and I can't think if there were anymore. Oh yeah, she sang this song
that some Welsh writer wrote. It was great. Susan McGewen(I think) sang
with her on F.C. , WIRTGB....she was pretty good. And Yungchen Llamo was
there for effigy. After River she started crying...It was kind of upseting
and then she had to leave the room for a little while. It was very
emotional for her...She said some funny stuff throughout as she always does
and she likes to speak with an accent....At one point the music was like off
key or something and she told us we were all going to die because it sounded
bad. I guess you had to be there for that one. At one point in between
songs, she started talking to some woman in the front row and started to
interview her..asking her where she worked and what she did...and then she
was sitting on her lap....it was pretty funny. As always, she looked
beautiful...Amazing more like it... Oh, Peter I am jealous. Okay, so after
it was over...I made a b-line over to where she was and I was standing right
next to her. She is so petite,...so all of you who thought that she looked
like she gained some weight, I don't think so. I guess it is true that tv
adds 10 pounds....Okay, anyway, she was sining some autographs and took a
picture...as I was standing there, my heart was pouding, my leg was shaking,
and in my mind I was like "uh, uh,uh, uh, uh" So then she looked at me. I
showed her my Ophelia flat that I brought with me....I and i was like "would
you mind signing this" and she said sure...She asked what my name was and I
said Brian.. then she said "with an I???" and I was like yes...then as she
was signing it...she wrote Bri...and then had to think about the rest..it
was funny...so she wrote Brian...and then Natalie...then my other friend
brought the ophelia case to get signed for another friend and I asked her to
sign the mafia couresan picture because that was the one she wanted
signed...and she signed Daria(my frineds name) and then Ciao! and then
Natalie....over all it was an amazing experience. She said she is a
perfectionist and that is why she had to redo the songs....It was for tv, so
it didn't matter if she did. I just want to thank erica, for sending me the
forward with the info to get tickets and to whoever sent it to her.. Thanks
a lot. I had an amazing time. She truly is a genuine person with a lot to
offer. Well i am late for class so I have to go..If I think of anything
else, I will add to this. Bye for now. thanks again...Nice meeting you
Jaime..
