LETTER to MEMBERS
LETTER FROM SLOVAKIA - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19TH, 2008 Today I received a delivery of your three CDs ordered some couple of days ago. Great - I was amazed by the speed of the delivery (all the way from Connecticut!) and also very happy to have them here in Slovakia. And as I received them, I thought I would thank you immediately. Looking up the website again and being in a search for your e-mail, (just out of mere female curiosity), I looked up your NEWS section. And here I see, that "a woman from Slovakia bought my three CDs". It must be me, I have thought. This encouraged me even more to write. You may wonder how that happened that "a Woman from Slovakia" ordered your CDs. Well, I have a story for you. Long time ago, I guess it must have been in a late spring of 1991, I lived with my then 5-year-old daughter Katarina in Coopersburg, PA. She was a first-grader in Lower Milford Elementary School and one day you happened to be in that area performing for the kids. My daughter was taken to your concert along with her other friends and she returned home with a cassette with recordings of some of your songs. She was so thrilled that, ever since then, this tape has a privileged place in our collection; no one of us ever got bored by listening to it. A year later, we left the US and returned back to Slovakia and your songs were keeping us company through all the childhood of my daughter. The songs even became a nice recollection of time spent in Pennsylvania, and something like a family treasure. In 2000, my little son Matthias was born, and my daughter passed this tape onto him. Now, she, as a grown-up, finds a lot of pleasure in singing all about spiders, watermelons, and peanut butter again along with her little brother. Although he has never had a chance to see your performance (video recorded or so) he really likes the tunes and learns English words by singing the songs with lots of pleasure. The only thing is that my little son finds the tape "too short". Another disadvantage of this tape was that, as we travel a lot, he could not bring it along with him to play it on his Discman. So I tried to Google up your name in hope that, somewhere I might find a possibility to buy your CD. And, HURRAY!, here comes the website with chances to buy, not one, but even three different CDs. My son’s birthday is coming up on 28 March - and I have a great surprise for him. Three CDs from DAVE FRY!!!! From now on he can enjoy traveling with your songs along. Fantastic! Thank you, Dave, and we wish you many creative years ahead, so generations of children can grow into adults, having fun and joy with your music. Thanks for keeping our spirits young and smiling!
Mariana (me - the mom), P.S. I have seen the CDs are signed - hoping that the signatures are REAL! |
