I'll have to say after seeing you guys only in small clubs before last night, I wasn't too optimistic I would go away from the big arena show feeling as pumped. However, at the end of the night, I walked away with that same Daughtry high I have always gotten before. Chris, you have mastered the ability to make even a big show seem intimate. And once again you did a show not feeling your best, and once again your performance was flawless. Bravo!

Guys, I am sure there are lots of reasons you have chosen to be musicians. And, while I'm not really sure where touching people's lives falls on that list, or if it even makes the list, you all have touched mine. I have to laugh at myself, this time a year ago you might have caught me driving down the road listening to talk radio (gee that's embarrassing to admit), this year the music in my car is so loud, nobody can "talk" over it. Not only do I thank you for that, my kids are forever in your debt.

Take care and be safe. I hope I get to see you again at least one more time this year. Oh yeah, and tell Kevin I said "thanks for trying".
