Hi Lileigh,
Just thought I would drop you a line to say hello, and congratulate you on your presentations on youtube of my favorite all time band Genesis!
I live in New Zealand, but I have family in Manchester, England, and timed a trip over to Manchester to visit my Mum, Brother, and family in 2007,, and went to see my favorite band at my favorite stadium, (Old Trafford), on 07/07/07!
It was an amazing concert, with a very vocal crowd, and it was great to hear Phil belt out a few of the "older" Genesis songs,and the whole band sounded just awesome!
A once in a lifetime experience for me especially since I live so far away!
Keep up your excellent work, looking at your resume you are a pretty amazing lady!

Hi, Steve ~
To have been able to catch Genesis during their very last concert tour - a famed, singular Reunion Tour, at that - in Old Trafford must have been a gift-beyond-price to a fellow fanatical fan such as yourself, m'dear! (I am most envious - as I had to miss that final run of theirs..for reasons I cannot divulge.)
But, in hearing all my devoted Phil, Tony & Mike-following friends and seeing it on video...it was visually F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C, it seems.
I envy all who got to witness the last vestiges of the original crew...and am pleased they were able to get it all together despite the fact that Peter pulled out of the original concept of touring The Lamb with them (discussed in 2004).
I'm so sorry that Phil has officially retired - being in such physical pain, still, due to his degenerative nerve problems. What a key individual and musician he was to keep on trying to physically meet the demands of the gig - during that time!
On another note, you are very, very kind to compliment me on all my life's accomplishments ...or even to have read them, at all ! *pleased blush*
In addition to being an early-Genesis-loving audio engineer, director & on-air talent...it is true that I am a degreed meteorologist & FAA commercially-rated helicopter pilot (though now retired).
Some folks would say "Renaissance Woman"....
I'd say "someone who had too much time on their hands and who was the runt-of-the-litter of a seriously over-achieving family !!" LOLOLOL
Anyway (pun absolutely intended), I truly appreciate both your lovely words..and the time it took to cyber-pen them to me!
