Mission accomplished..I got pictures for you my dear amicis.
I did not meet Bocelli and knew that would be an impossiblity, but did get to meet Steven Mercurio. He made faces for me but I was too quick on the draw. He is a delightful man.
I hope you enjoy the not-so-great pictures but it is difficult to shoot great shots when people's big heads are in the way and one gets dirty looks because you click one too many times.  He sang my favorite song, Marechiare which was featured in my Thanksgiving card...(smile)... I'll let the other gals report what transpired in the concert.....I'll just put the photos of the concert in.

One word of warning...in San Jose, there were lots of security and they checked men's pockets and women's purses. ABSOLUTELY NO CAMERAS and don't ask me how I got mine in.

We saw Steven at the side entrance stage. Of course we waved at him and he knew one of the ladies there, so she called him over.	Steven came out to talk to us about him aruging with Andrea."It is madness back there." (observation: Steve is shorter than I thought he was)	"I told him he should sing "Because".  He won't do it. He can't remember the words." We all went OHHHHHH	Steven was nice and he gave me a goofy look joking with me as I was shooting my pictures, but I was too quick on the draw.
	As you can see, Andrea was relaxed and joking with Steven.	Note his hair, bow tie and his clean shaven look	Ana always look so adoringly at Andrea...hahahahaaa !!!
	You see what a "nut" Steven is? I just love him. I wish I took a pic of them hitting each other at the beginning!!
Ann-Marie bless her heart came out too early for her first solo.  Steve teased the heck out of her.		WAV file2 from San Jose-click here Marechiare-click here Allow some time for sound files to download.

Big ole heads were in the way...Ya see that?????????

Well that is all folks.........I had to be very careful and I only took pictures that were necessary or when I can sneak them in while the crowd was clapping, otherwise they could hear my CLICK and the dirty looks came flying at me..........Mission accomplished and mission over for good!! Best of Luck to all the rest of the fans seeing Bocelli in other concerts !!
