Hi there,

I live in Newfoundland, Canada, and am a huge fan. I have attended your concert faithfully, except for November 2005. I had to undergo cancer surgery on Nov.7, 2005, the day of your concert. That was probably the most disappointing idea of the surgery (lol). My husband and I promised that we wouldn't miss another one. On monday, march 3/08, I have my annual ct scan (I should have said that the surgery was a sucess and I have been cancer free since Nov,2005), and a test like this always brings me back to that horrible time, and I thought of you (a good thought!). My husband said to check out your site and see if you'll be in our neighborhood soon. But you're on the other side of the world! I know your upcoming tours will be fabulous, and I'll keep checking back for your Canadian tour. Have a wonderful time!!!
Sincerely, Cathy

Dear Chris,

It seems to me that it is such a long time ago (July 2007) when I had the opportunity to listen to your meaningful songs - live. Can't help it, and I also cannot express how my ears terribly long for hearing again your strong voice (live) at the moment. Actually I do need any advice. Perhaps I am going to listen to your last year's wonderful solo radio concert which was on HR1. Hope that helps to chase away those 'withdrawal symptoms'. Anyway.

And how are you? Please keep on writing, recording, composing and SINGING/performing for the world.

Take good care - particularly while going on tour.

Good luck for the forthcoming concerts!

Miss you - even now, Gerlinde

P.S. I loved reading MOtL - February, 25, because 'The Road To Freedom' and 'The Storyman' are really/simply the best you have ever written. Thanks.

Dear Chris,
with joy I see that you are back on MOTL now. Imagine, short after the summer-tour I tried to learn to play "When Winter Comes" on piano as my first piano-melody as you know. I am not ready with learning and something very bad happened to me until Christmas. My right shoulder began to ache horrible! Sometimes it is to much to learn and to work so that I finally had to rest for a while. But I want to tell you that the blue scarf, which I got in your summer-concerts helped healing. It made the shoulder warm for weeks!:)) The whole aching is away now.
What a luck. And the doctor told me that is a wonder. It is reality and no joke. I am pleased about your answer about re-recording songs. Chris, I love the early songs like they are so much. Your voice had always been wonderful and it is completely right that some have strong memories to the young Chris in the old records. Just bought me the old one on CD, because the record-players are slowly giving up their ghosts, that the songs will not be lost in the first version!When I will have a bit more time, I will write you again. Oh yes, what I forgot is that the young generation about you wrote is still with me here in Germany and they do listen to your songs. The boys and girls are in the age between 2 and 8 years now and I made some wonderful experiences with them listening to your music. Collegues and children are very interested so I will bring them more often one of my CDs the next time and tell them about you, ok?
with love
Monika

Dear Chris,interesting reading on reincarnation, but for sure I doubt you'd ever come back as a slug or an ugly sea fish, but a cat- oh I so wish you'd said a dog then you could have an owner like us that would go out with you for lovely walks and play out in open spaces or have a chase around on the beach and then later curl up on your owners knee just like one of ours does (and they are Retrievers!!!), oh yes, and of course we would always know that you were safe and sound with us. Love always, Pauline,The Yorkshire Rose XX

Dear Chris, I'm really enjoying MOTL this time around. No wonder we've waited so long with such long and detailed answers, well worth the wait.Gosh, what a weekend it's been, wins for Liverpool, Ireland,Wales and England in the six nations, (me having a bit if each in my blood!!), and also Hull City FC and Hull RLFC both getting some points, I'm worn out with all that excitement, counting the months to Klingenthal.Love always, Pauline, The Yorkshire Rose XX

Dear Chris,

Thank you for the numerous wonderful and unique songs you have created and performed over the years. I have experienced many hours across the span of my life enjoying them over and over again.

It has inspired me to write my own songs and to stay true to myself in them. Thank you so much for showing me this lesson. My entertainment site is listed above if you are ever interested in listening to the songs I have posted...It would be a great honour to think you took a moment to hear them.

Hi Chris,

only 2 weeks now and I will start to my trip from Germany to see you in the concert in St. Petersburg on March 7, 2008. This date is personally a very special for me and I could't believe it some month ago when I read that you will have a concert on just that special day.

I wish you all the luck for your tour and look forward to see you :-)

Regards from Berlin

Hello Chris,
This didn't quite turn into a question so I've written my thoughts here. I just read MOtL and specifically Feb. 19 about The Leader trilogy. You talked of the picture of the cavemen staring out at the sea and sky expectantly. Well, immediately it brought to mind a couple dreams that I had of a similar nature and thought I'd share them here.
One happened where I had been dragged from my bed and put on a bus by the people I had just filmed a film with. Apparently they were taking me for one more shot. I was extremely tired as we rode along. We happened to be driving down a road that ran along the beach. I found some strength and reached my head up to look out the window. As I stared toward the sea and sky, I sensed that something was coming. I felt a bit vulnerable as I had no strength in me.
In another dream, I was in a glass house with other people. The house seemed to be suspended in the sky almost. As I stared out the window I began to see clouds rolling towards us. My initial thought was, "What now?!" expecting some evil attackers again like 9/11. But then suddenly I see someone coming out of the clouds. I let out my breath with relief and joy exclaiming, "It's Jesus!" I felt in a moment; finally he has come, the evil can stop, our rescuer is here. It's going to be all right.

And so those were the pictures that formed in my mind in the stormy sleep of a dream.

P.S. This is strange! I just recalled that I had done an Industrial film in 1993 where I played a cavewoman and we filmed the first part on the beach off HWY 1 in Calif. Bizarre!

Take care.

Love,

Heather Bullock

Dear Chris, I have just read Helens question on MOTL and feel that she really put across how everyone that has seen those images felt, I know that I was riveted to my seat and felt horror the first time I saw them, your reply was very interesting as to what prompted you to write 'The Leader'.

I very much enjoyed our chat yesterday, it felt like I was talking to an old friend, maybe we'll do it again someday.
Love always, Pauline,The Yorkshire Rose XX

Well Chris it's been over 20yrs now since the release of Lady in red, such a beautiful song. What I would like to know is when are you finally going to re-release it?? I am sure it would be a big hit again there is a whole new generation who have not heard it yet and of course it would be a great chance to update the music video too which is really out of date! Come on......plz re-release it soon!

Much love

Sarah xxmwahxx

Dear Chris,

Thank you for your beautiful lyrics and melodic voice. It has provided me a sense of calm, inspiration, and motivation. I am SO sad that you don't tour the U.S.-

Guess, I'll just have to visit Europe then.

Blessings & Much Light to you and your family. @~~

Dear Chris,

I wish you, from the bottom of my heart, a very beautiful, romantic and magic Valentine day!
Here I enclose a little poem I wrote you on this beautiful occasion:

May your life be filled with Love,
Love like coming from above,
Be loved the same way you do,
May all of your dreams come true,
Be loved for the man you are,
From the close and from the far,
For you are a shining star.

With love forever,
Emese

Dear Chris, Just wanted to say hello from Vancouver B.C. Have been an avid fan for over 25 years as are most of my family members. As a matter of fact my older sister introduced me to your songs after returning home from a trip to S.Africa in the late 70's. Your music has helped me get through some tough times in my life.Times when I thought I could not go on.For that I am eternaly gratefull.Would love to see you in concert here in Vancouver as it has been a long time since 1988 in Toronto with Danny and the boys.Hope you and your family enjoy 2008. Much love and God Bless.

Dear Chris,

Just dropping by to keep you posted in a few words about some new part of the unknown ocean in my soul. I would like to share with you that I finally have reached the end of the endless exam stress and I actually managed to pass my exams with great results! On the way I went against currents, into the wind and through storms, on and on I rowed, to the point of exhaustion, always heading for the course – but you see, I found the island; one out of millions. On Friday I took my spoken exam and altogether with the written ones I got a total 1.8 grade in system of taxation, accountancy, social and economic studies :-).

Hugs and kisses,
Yours Julia

Dear Chris,
thank you very much for your nice messages over your website to the begin of the new year. Yes, we will see us again in Germany on your summer-tour in August I've seen you will make a very long journey to Russia, Litauen and Lettland, Denmark and Istambul, so I want to wish you good luck and a very happy and enjoyable time there. Further I have heard that you will be in Iran for visiting historical places there so your interests in history can be fullfilled too?
I'm just brave waiting for the summerdays and I hope you will tell us a bit about your long journey when you will be back in Germany.
with love
Monika
