David,

All throughout AI, I looked forward to seeing you perform each week. Although I enjoyed all of your performances, the most amazing one for me was "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." I want to thank you for inspiring me to love music again. I had not bought a CD in years and had never downloaded music until now. I'm even going to get my first iPOD.

I can't wait to see your concert in Washington, DC this August. Stay true to yourself and continue to think and perform "outside the box." That's one of the things that makes you so special. I wish you all the best.
