This week, Eric and I went to see David Foster in concert. It was amazing. I was emotional the entire concert. I hovered somewhere between tears of nostalgia and absolute joy. I was in awe. I have loved David Foster for a very long time. He is also a very funny guy and he was very interactive with the audience. We laughed a lot and I did not want it to end.

I do not go to many concerts. My entire concert line-up includes Glass Tiger, Amy Grant, The Eagles, Blue Rodeo, Howard Jones and now David Foster. I guess I am really into Easy Listening! But this was one I just could not pass up. The first time I heard the love theme from St. Elmo’s Fire I was nine years old. It was one of my very first cassette tapes.

And then there was Water Fountain from The Secret of My Success (Have you seen this? It stars Michael J. Fox. It is so good!)

And the love song from Stealing Home (another great movie!).

I mastered The Winter Games Theme on piano from the 1988 Olympics and played it for my entire high school at a talent show. I had no business doing that. The Glory of Love from The Karate Kid was another hit I ‘mastered’.

I just love him. I always have. I think I said that already.

These are all of his hits – not just from the 80s.

And here are some pictures from our night out. A separated shoulder joint the night before did not stop Eric from going!

Gilt is our FAVOURITE restaurant in Kitchener.

Well, this technically isn’t from the concert we attended but it looks just like it!
