Jaclyn Taylor Golden, Steve Taylor,
Linda & Shelley Taylor

I wanted to thank you again for coming to Cleveland, Ohio this past April. We waited nearly 5 years for your return and of course it was well worth the wait. Many of my family and friends came to finally see the amazing singer I am always talking about. They all enjoyed you very much and couldn't quit talking about the concert. You just leave so many people speechless! The person you probably impressed the most was my husband, Steve, who now refers to you as "One Hot Chick." At least he now knows that his hard earned money goes to a very good cause! I just recently found out that you are coming to Akron next April which is no more than 10 minutes from my house. I am just a little excited about that one! Thanks again for always giving us such a great time and for all the beautiful songs to listen to.

When I went to see you at the Westbury Music Fair on July 12th, I knew that I would be in for a wonderful time. I had already seen you there last year, and I knew that this time would be no different. The evening at Westbury was nothing short of enchanting. I felt like I had stepped into another world, a world that made me feel all kinds of emotions. When you sang my favorite song, “Vienna,” I could feel the chills go down my back and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. “Bring On The Men” was absolutely incredible. You never cease to amaze me, no matter how many times I hear you sing. The way you interact with the audience is alone worth the price of admission. Linda, your music has helped me through some difficult times in my life. Your voice never fails to bring a smile to my face, and for this I thank you. I also thank you for the new friends I have made through the message board. You have a wonderful way of bringing people together. I wish you all the luck with CAMILLE as well as your future concerts. I know whether it is on stage in CAMILLE or in concert, you will light up the stage with your smile and presence.

I just returned home form seeing Linda in Beverly, MA. I have never seen someone so incredibly dynamic, confident, and talented. Her ability to connect with her audience, laugh at herself, and project such incredible talent has me totally inspired. Personally going through a very difficult breakup, attending the concert was almost a spiritual experience. She demonstrates amazing talent, but also great self confidence, exuberance, and a kind of female power that is invigorating and inspirational.

Recently I attended a pre-dinner of Bill Hutchinson's and attended Linda's concert in Beverly, MA. It was a very nice time meeting with other Linda fans and then experiencing the ultimate gift, a concert with Linda. I have been fortunate to see several of Linda's concerts but each time I have to pinch myself because I cannot believe what I am hearing. I am one of Linda's "senior" fans and just get such joy from her "VOICE." I am very happy to have tickets to see Camille Claudel in August. Life is good.

Sorry you couldn't make it to a festive event at the pre-concert dinner, beautifully arranged and planned by Bill Hutchinson of Beverly, MA. We had 13 devoted Linda Eder fans in attendance at the Sylvan Street Grille in Danvers,MA. The food was great but the Linda stories and experiences we shared were the highlight of the evening. Fans came from all over MA, NJ, MI,etc. We anxiously awaited for 8pm so we could see our "Diva" once again in concert.

Linda was in great voice (as always), in a great mood (joking with the band and the audience), and she looked fabulous. The highlight for me was when she did her signature song "Vienna." That song sends chills up my spine everytime I hear it. My personal favorite "Havana" and "Bring on the Men" were fabulous and the band played beautifully all night long. Thank you to Frank Wildhorn and Jack Murphy for writing some beautiful songs.

Richard Georgeou

I became addicted to Linda back in 1989, when I attended a private concert in Dallas, Texas. That's when she became my all time favorite! My addiction includes programs, all her CDs, tapes of all known TV, pictures and autographs. I am going to my eighth Linda concert (6/18/03). I will find a way to Camille Claudell! What I love most is that she has such a gifted talent and she is still the nicest person, 14 yrs later - not a diva with an attitude. I try to see her after every concert - just to say hi. Thank you Linda!

I am so thankful to the Bravo profile that introduced me to your voice and music a few months ago. Since then, I have absorbed every note I can, purchased every CD I can, and had the honor of seeing you in concert just a few days ago in Cleveland, Ohio. I have introduced so many people to your music that we actually took up a whole ecstatic row in the Palace.

People wonder why Linda's voice stirs such emotion. It is the same reason we all cried when we stood before the Pieta, heard Pavarotti in his prime, watched Michael Jordan win his sixth, watched Secretariat at Belmont. Such pure perfection, such beauty, that exceeds what most of us perceive as mortal makes us stand in awe and joy. Linda's voice doesn't come from her vocal cords, lungs, or diaphragm-- it comes from her very soul. What beauty !

- Melanie R. Butera

Linda was amazing and just brilliant at Carnegie Hall! Packed to the ceiling with Celebs and fans. Linda was perfection! Meeting her later that night was such a thrill for me. Linda was so sweet, and down to earth .

What a special night. Thank you Linda, for being so kind and generous with me and thank you as always for your gift of song.

A few months ago I heard about Linda Eder doing a free performance and signing for her new cd - Broadway My Way at a local Barnes & Noble. I've heard my best friend go on and on about how great Linda was. My best friend studied classical music and now teaches and directs choir at a high school. Well, I knew she would be thrilled to get an autographed cd of her favorite singer. So I decided to go and wait out in the winter cold of NYC and stand in line and listen to her sing just to get the cd signed... Somehow I had never heard Linda's voice before.

I had no idea what was in store. Her voice was AMAZING! I have never heard anything like it before! I could not believe I was in the same room with her and she was singing live - for us. Her performance gave me chills. That night, not only did I discover what unmatchable talent Linda possesed, but also that she is a truly kind person. (Those who were there will remember when she stopped in the middle of a song to ask the two older gentlemen fans to come in out of the cold) She deserves the recognition and stardom of other greats... but she could never behave in a "superior" manner. Although she is truly a Diva, she hasn't forgotten her old fans and is creating new fans like me! That voice blows me away everytime I hear it. I'm so glad I made the effort to surprise my friend, and got a huge surprise myself.

In Memory of Bill Hutchinson

The Editorial Staff of THE VOICE would like to dedicate the Fan Corner to Bill Hutchinson, a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend. Bill passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 2, 2003. He was a veteran of the Korean War and a retired member of the Beverly, MA Fire Department after more than thirty years of service. Bill was one of the original members of the message board and a devoted fan of Linda, and he shared his love for her and her music with all who crossed his path. He will be sorely missed by all whose lives he touched in his very special way. Rest in peace, Linda’s # 1 Fan from Massachusetts.
