You definitely have your own unique approach to it, Beachguy, which is very rich in imagery and ideas. But honestly, if you were to do a creative writing course I think the sky would be the limit for you. Thanks juxtaposer , i just fool around on Jackie forums of the past , here i wrote some things under "" it belongs here "" Twilight Zone and Time Machine as i like making up stores not of the same you read most of the time and BTW just in case Jackie M Evancho reads some day , btw be careful saying nice about me as Ricks forum people will read you and dislike you for it , good luck Tiger I suppose it is possible that Jackie will one day read your work. I know she's a very busy girl, but it wouldn't surprise me if she occasionally scans her fan sites out of simple curiosity. Wouldn't anyone, if they had them? I enjoy it over at Rick's forum. It's a broad church there. I just try to make a positive contribution. You were going all right there for a while. I do like it here too. it's a smaller forum, but quite cosy.

Thanks, and right on all counts, BG. (took me a while, but I even managed to find a place for the phrase, "over the top" in it). And i see wish upon a star also , i don't have the patience to do this as i write as i write , haha , i mean what ever comes into my mind i type and that is why so many mispells and go off there and here as some call inconceivable or incoherent You definitely have your own unique approach to it, Beachguy, which is very rich in imagery and ideas. But honestly, if you were to do a creative writing course I think the sky would be the limit for you.

As a CFS sufferer of long standing, I am constantly told by well meaning friends and acquaintances how well I am looking, or that I seem much better now, or that I must be improving; so you are right, only the sufferer truly knows what they are experiencing. Either Lisa does have Lymes/CFS or she doesn't, and if she does (and I see no reason to disbelieve this) then this sick old tiger is in a better position than most to imagine what she might be going through, and my heart goes out to her as it does to all so like. What it has cost me I can't begin to say. Even looking at the computer screen for too long can wipe me out and I have to go to ground sometimes for days, sometimes weeks or even months. Even good days are still terrible by old standards. You can make up your own opinions about Mike, but his situation is clearly not an ordinary one. I'm not saying he's badly off or badly done by, just that he is doing the best he can in his complex situation. My best wishes to you for good health as i believe that is most important of life That is gracious of you, Beachguy, and not a truer word was spoken. Believe me, I don't spend much time wallowing in it, I'm too focused on getting on with what I can any chance I get. I still have that in common with the person I used to be. I can't climb mountains anymore, but there are quite a few little hills well worth the effort. Also, I'm one of the walking wounded, one of the lucky ones, there are others who have far greater misfortune. All the best to you too, my friend.

Dreaming with Her
I know a singer, and when I hear her sing I can’t imagine any more beautiful a thing Than to hear her pour her heart into every golden note, With all the tones of amber and honey in her throat Blending in a richness of melodies that flow In harmony with autumn, or summer’s evening glow, Or shining like a moonbeam, or a sudden ray Of sunshine reappearing on a rainy day Colouring the sky, with a canopy of blue Painted as the background for every rainbow hue.
And listening, I am hearing so many things in turn That take me to the windows of those for which I yearn: A loved one in the twilight calling from afar, A promise of forgiveness, a wish upon a star, A hope forever burning, a kiss from ruby lips, Visions of a face that could launch a thousand ships, Strands of silver starlight glinting in the gloom Woven into music upon her silken loom Embroidering a magic within my mind to stir My pure imagination into dreaming with her.
When over the horizon clouds begin to spread So darkly I am failing to see my way ahead Beyond the looming shadows that cause me to despair: When the little boat I’m sailing is dashed beyond repair I could wish for nothing greater than for her to never stop Singing beneath a rainbow, or somewhere over the top Following the blue birds wherever they may go, Stepping on the stardust, ready with her bow, Aiming for the magic with all the hunter’s art, Her quiver full of arrows that penetrate the heart.
Thanks tiger as this makes a forum better ... that takes much time and much care and perhaps makes you feel better . Thanks, and right on all counts, BG. (took me a while, but I even managed to find a place for the phrase, "over the top" in it).

With Lyme's she can't dash around and be at the forefront of things so much like she used to. Everything she does is under strain of the illness, the body demanding all the time it needs rest. But at home around the Christmas tree is different, so maybe just a bit camera shy as Cas43 was inferring. When I say Mike is dedicated: believe me, chronic illnesses like Lymes and CFS are relationship destroyers. It is a battle for both partners. The things Mike has had to face up to out of nowhere, like having a superstar daughter from age 10, an eldest son who turns out to be transgender, and a chronically ill partner - I take my hat off to him. You can't stay on top of all that without being dedicated in some way. How does anyone know the degee of illness she has ?? , light , mind , deep , etc , only people in their lives know not fans , she looked fine at the school , why should I believe a tiger how dedicated Mike is to what ,other then he quit his business and I guess on Jackies' payroll of sort , he ran out of JEFC in one year ? , I know a couple who lost their young son killed by a teen over a girl and they both have bad cancer now , many many people have terrible times of life and without big money . As a CFS sufferer of long standing, I am constantly told by well meaning friends and acquaintances how well I am looking, or that I seem much better now, or that I must be improving; so you are right, only the sufferer truly knows what they are experiencing. Either Lisa does have Lymes/CFS or she doesn't, and if she does (and I see no reason to disbelieve this) then this sick old tiger is in a better position than most to imagine what she might be going through, and my heart goes out to her as it does to all so like.

Dad does a great job as chief of her security, but it is disappointing we see hardly any images of mum and daughter together, or of mum with any other of her family, including her dedicated husband. Is Lisa really that shy, because I know a lot of us would love to see them all in a family portrait. Last Christmas we nearly got there when they posted a very happy picture of the family together, but instead of Lisa in it we got old Santa Claus instead. Perhaps she just cherishes her privacy, which is understandable. I surmise it's because the Lymes, which she's suffered with for years now, may have inflicted damage on her appearance .... but maybe more on what she thinks it has. I know my wife hates it when I point the camera at her .... and always has .... because she thinks she's grossly overweight ... which is ridiculous. She isn't by any stretch. But ....... ?? Women ..... ? What man will ever be able to figure them out and when? One unfortunate effect of Lymes/CFS is that it won't let you get any proper exercise; you are punished for any exertion you put yourself to. This means it's easy to put weight on and hard to loose it. Diet has to be watched very carefully, but, believe me, sometimes you've just got to have that chocolate.

I believe it goes deeper , I have no idea how great of a job as some things are not in print , he does hire men to protect for some reason even at concerts and there has to be a reason , and have no idea of a Dedicated husband , I have not seen them together very much , not at school or other times at events , one never knows behind closed doors With Lyme's she can't dash around and be at the forefront of things so much like she used to.

Yes, thanks for the memories, Jackie, and for all the great performances and the You Tube videos and for your very remarkable and inspirational career. Hang on, why are we thanking Jackie for the memories? She's only 16. She's not leaving us, is she? Time will tell from the Tower of Big Ben , Jackie Talk is as i feel i am wasting my time on this thread for the few jolly likes that come and besides she does not or not allow to connect to fans which most likely is a good thing in fact i would suggest she wait till 18 +, so i will devote my time on artists that will reply on my attempts to connect on line and do call me by my first name as if they care some what even if just comments of sorts , most of the artists here i have listed know me as Ron and do reply to me ,i have posted thousands of posts for Jackie and most likely she will never see any as they will fade as forums do in time as dead leaves but i did try my best for posts of not the same as so many fans on her forums , i gave a box full of Jackie stuff for safe keeping to my son so perhaps in time he will say "" well Dad was right on Jackie M Evancho "" , BTW , In Pittsburgh if you say ""where are you guys going ?'' it is said "" where are YINS going "" i will thank the members that at times gave me a like on a post but i have lost that loving feeling here for Jackie Talk , Period , RIP , Amen , Elvis has left the building , turn out the lights as the JT party is over , 101,549 Views produced by Ron on CC-UK Keep the faith, Beachie, I foresee something good coming your way down the track a bit...

My dad is an old desert rat Tommy, a few years younger than Dame Vera. He said every soldier and the whole of Britain were in love with her. I suppose we could call that the "Vera Effect".

What is more amazing about Jackies' voice now >>answer imo HER VOICE AT THIS AGE IS MORE AMAZING AND PERHAPS TO ME WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST PS the good old days when you was shining and dancing with a perhaps a more happy heart , the giggle is gone as the spring tulip "the giggle is gone as the spring tulip" - only a true poet could come up with a line like that. I love her pairing with Josh Page. Not only has he a wonderfully warm voice, there is a connection between them that I have not seen in other duets. Here there is a closeness between them, and at about 3.37 when they reach out to hold hands it is so pleasing to see, it is such a great moment. I wonder if this was intended or spontaneous. Her performance here is very theatrical and I would very much love to see her do more work with Josh.

Wonder why we never see Mum & Daughter together for a Pic but i know dad travels with her i believe to keep her safe and sound Dad does a great job as chief of her security, but it is disappointing we see hardly any images of mum and daughter together, or of mum with any other of her family, including her dedicated husband. Is Lisa really that shy, because I know a lot of us would love to see them all in a family portrait.

On this dusk as a awakening of sunlight shines daggers though holes of still white lace curtains and shines weakly on my pigeon grey rug as dust particles dance so languishing slowly in the still of the morn and i untangle my fingertips on trigger fingers in retrospective ruminations of my today's topic of Jackies' world as i turn to old nostalgia and jaded memories of fans and their talks ""we will always love you "" with her giggles and smiles and waves of apprehensively normal feel of a young girl , her world glows brightly as the end of a rainbow with the hope of new horizons promising a shade of pink and purple meaning love of life , her childhood had a precariously uncertain future indeed , the humdrum of the choreography of dancing melodies and some fearful adrenaline high on stages of lights with willing looking eyes and open ears , my Jackie Talk was a escape from the anxieties of boredom , the triteness and arbitrariness of my actions were as a days' motions to remain unchanged from day to day and gained a extra dimension of a wonder land to give Jackie a hand from that red dress and talk about her expectations and hopes and fears as her world does bled at times , to ease her fears and help heal them if times of loneliness or days without sun shine and the flutter of butterflies and on some starry starry twilight skies with shades of turquoise so from Jackie Talk to Jackie ************* "" THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES "" ************** Yes, thanks for the memories, Jackie, and for all the great performances and the You Tube videos and for your very remarkable and inspirational career. Hang on, why are we thanking Jackie for the memories? She's only 16. She's not leaving us, is she?

What makes a face Cute or Pretty Or Beautiful , there are eyes , nose , mouth , so how many faces are there is the world , what does the first girl look like OR meant to look like ? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, of course, but Jackie's face seems transformed when she is singing. I wonder if that is because singers get to exercise their facial muscles in very subtle and sensitive ways. Also the expressions of the eyes.
