i am trying to post the songs in our program that Mario sing at the tampa concert . Duh...... I can't emailed Maria to help. we had beautiful engraved programs with backgroun bio on everyone concerned with this concert, even Mario's manager. Then there was a beautiful insert booklet the sign of a printing paper with lovely picture of mario on the front and more information about him his bio. everything.
I asked the lady at the desk, how much the programs were, I figured 10 dollars, she said they were free. I got the souvenir program autographed for Trish, she is going to love. Lois got his t-shirt (beauiful thing) autographed for Trish. the t-shirt were only 10 dollars american money. how reasonable is that. When maria posts the list of music I will do the best I can for a review. I am not good at that. just take my word. he sang probably 22 songs and one after another another. he took several short breaks when the greek dancers came out. he started strong and went all over the stage that was a center stage in two squares with the synphony located in the floor of both squares. He wnet up and down a all around the place. he acted out the speaking parts with Debra Meyers for the two songs from Phantom. they played these parts on the west end in London together. more later.Charlotte

very end)

Nights in White Satin (He sang the whole thing himself. Didn't know how he was going to do it since it's a duet. Thought

maybe they'd have a taped part or something.)

Phantomof the Opera- withDebraMyers(Verygood. The acousticswere terrible-cement walls/floor and steel ceiling.

Was dreading that last note, but she didn't hold it like it's supposed to be held, just went up then down, otherwise it would

have been very painful on the ears.)

Hi everyone, You can count me in as a Mario fan. His voice is so beautiful. I, also, was with Gina, Charlotte, Sharon, and others backstage to see Mario after the concert. He sure is a cutie. I love the fact that his fans are so friendly w/o the backstabbing that you see on so many sites. Mario fans just want to see Mario get what he deserves. Really wonderful people.

When I was chatting to Charlotte and Lois on the phone after the concert, it made me so very happy when they said that Mario had signed the program and t-shirt for me.

Charlotte - tell everyone about the poster !!

I haven't seen Mario in concert yet, but one day I think it will happen. All the Mario fans say how much they love the man and his music. From everything I read, I think he's the benchmark when it comes to interacting with members of his international fan club.

I have to agree with that having met Mario several times when he appeared with Hayley during her UK tour in March 2004. He was always genuinely pleased to see me and, on one occasion, came almost running across the foyer to greet me!

Not only a magnificent singer but a thoroughly nice guy. But then, you know that!!!

Trish asked me about the poster. I had bought a poster off of Ebay for Mario to sign to give to Trish. I didn't really have anything else just in case we would be allowed to see him. When I handed him the poster that was adversitement for his Sometimes I Dream cd he told me that he had never seen this poster before. He asked me where I had gotten the poster. I told him I bought if off of Ebay. He asked, "What is Ebay?" Everyone started laughing. I explained that it was a site that people could bid or buy things. His manager, Matthew told him he would explain it to him later. I bet he was on the web the next day checking the Ebay site out. He then asked me if I could make a copy for him. I realized that if he signed it, It couldn't make a copy. So I offered him the poster. He wouldn't take it because the poster was meant to be given to Trish. I once again offered it to him. I told him his could sign the picture that came with the program. He thanked me several times and handed it to Matthew to save for him. Charlotte

Hi ((((((Mario Buddies)))) I went to WalMart, today and while there did something I always do....peruse the CD's! I was glad to find 2 of Russell Watson's, "Amore Musica on the shelves and at least 7 for Andrea Bocelli, who is the most established of them. I gathered all of those CDs, put them on the TOP shelf and prayed for the day when Mario would also have CDs there!! I have also decided I shall begin calling the area radio stations and requesting Mario's songs. John Tesh has a syndicated show most likely heard in your area and I shall begin with him. Please join me and make requests in your area. My daughter is loving his music and I'm sure others in all age groups will if they only HEAR him. Mario is so gifted and his music will bless many people. Goooo Mario!!!! Sharon Very Happy

Well done Sharon!!! Good move there. I have listened to Mario, and although a confirmed Russeller myself, think Mario has a lovely voice, and judging by the posts here, he is super guy. This site can only help him.. Good luck Mario. Very Happy
