  I would be there in a minute if I could. I have friends who live in Wales, but I am living in Arizona and have heart failure. I am just hoping that I can see Alfie perform when (not if) he comes to California. I have children who live in the SF Bay area and I am planning to move there this summer.

  Will have to wait until September to catch a live performance. A bit too far to travel from California twice in one year! I’m sure the performance will be top notch, as it always is! Cheers!
