I wish all those going very safe trips, whichever show you are going to. Wth or without Barry singing lead, with or without Maurice on bass or keyboard, I know I appreciated my Robin Gibb concert on July 4th. I truly hope you enjoy your show as much as I did. Give Robin an extra cheer, round of applause, what-ever it is that you do at concerts, for those of us who can't make it :) And be prepared to give details! Take care ...
