I have been a fan of Linda for as long as I remember, unfortunately I had a double by-pass surgery not too long ago and am not feeling well. I just hope I get to attend at least 1 concert on the singer I admire the most. This is not a im sorry thread, just hope she will have a concert soon.

Unless she really changes her mind, and unless she feels her voice can handle one more, I'm afraid she's finally called it a career.

I'd like one more album (for starters). I am envisioning an album of Americana/Country type music produced by Emmylou Harris. I think she could persuade Linda to record again. Then we can follow that up with...

You may get the chance to meet her in 2013 if she makes bookstore appearances to promote her memoir/autobiography.

I wouldn't hold out for a major book store appearance tour. A few dates, maybe, but the lady didn't like touring during her heyday. And I recall an interview where she said she didn't like doing one-off concerts and had turned down appearing with the Eagles and Jackson Browne for a charity concert or two because of that dislike, and was basically a homebody. Still, I'd love to meet her if she were to make a few book signings but my feeling is the only book signings would take place in Los Angeles, San Franciso and New York and nowhere else.

I remember when she made an in-store appearance at my local Borders (!) and I rode my bike right past it the very moment of her appearance -- but I didn't know she was there.
My deathbed regret...

She did a great store appearance at B&N in NYC in 1996 to promote Dedicated and she was just lovely to the fans. I had just gotten engaged and told that to Linda and she grabbed my wife's hand and said "Let me see the ring" Also, she did a mini concert acapella of several songs before her signing. I have that signed CD and wouldn't sell it unless you offered me a million dollars!! Wish I had today's technology to have recorded it!

I had the honor of meeting her there also.. she couldn't have been more charming.. I thanked her for all the years of great music and she responded 'Thank you, that's so sweet!' in her cute Minnie Mouse speaking voice.. a life long memory..

My older brother brought me to that same store in the late 60's.

On a personal note, forgot to mention, my wife said to Linda," We are going to your show at Jones Beach and I haven't heard you sing standards in years and would love to hear some of those songs again", I chimed in to say,"That would be nice, but I want to hear your whole catalog".....Linda smiled and said. "Your both in for a little surprise". At Jones Beach in Long Island, she did one of her longest concerts on a hot, windy night and did a set of standards for the first time on tour in years....then a songwriters segment of Jimmy Webb and Randy Newman and finally a greatest hits set. What a show and her voice was magnificent. She had both an orchestra and her classic line-up rock n roll band. The only thing she didn't trot out was a mariachi....lol, could you imagine! A great memory and great night, would love a CD of this. Kevin ps- and Thanks Tony!

When was the Jones Beach concert? That's only about 10 miles down the beach from where I was raised (Moriches Bay area) but I was long gone to Arizona I am sure.
