Ty England's Fan Club Party 2003
Incredible...Val and I have it on video!!!(Zanies Comedy Club)
6/4/03


Heeeere's Ty!!!! For SOME people driving a bus is easier than driving a pickup truck. LOL


<-----Kyle and Shane----->

Kyle is absolutely nuts! I walked up to him after he JUMPED out of the van and told him hello for Dale in FL and thanked him for making sure Ty got the letters we sent him via Dale. My cell phone rang and it scared me when I looked at the number as it was my neighbor calling who was taking care of Maya(my dog). Ty was unloading the bus and just as my neighbor said she wasn't sick but she had had a couple of accidents, Ty looked up and smiled at me as I was walking toward his bus. I knew for sure then that she was fine. :) Sheri, Ty's Fan Club President is so sweet. I asked her if I could step outside before Ty began to perform and she asked if I was coming back. LOL She remembered my name from 2001...imagine that! She said she wasn't sure why she remembered it and I said probably because I'd bugged her with a couple of frantic emails. She said no that wasn't it and maybe it was because I was so nice. Ya done good Ty! :-)


Can you hear me now?


Rickie Smith sings with Ty(go Rickie!)


This was so cool, Ty came off the stage
and walked among the crowd while singing and playing!


...and there's roses in the arctic circle and icebergs in the Gulf of Mexico. LMAO


Ty brought Robbie, his former keyboard player to sit in on a couple of songs. After which Ty teared up as he spoke of how frustrating it was for him and Robbie that he had to leave the band to take a job that would enable him to take care of his family since Ty didn't get the support with Capitol that he needed. Robbie had to put on hold what he truly loves doing. On a lighter note, Ty joked about the new t-shirt that is now part of the England merchandise being sold on the road and hopefully soon online. On the front of the shirt it says, Ty England "Highways and Dance Halls", created by Ty England produced by Garth Brooks. And on the back it says, Murdered by Capitol Records. Ty said that with that shirt, he probably will never get a record deal. Of course I HAD to have one of those shirts! I give Ty a lot of credit for hanging in there. In fact, he's handling everything himself, even down to handling his own booking. He bought his bus from Vince Gill and has a lot of dates scheduled throughout the Southwest. His new album, "I'm Alive and Well" will be out after the first of the year. A couple of us asked when he was coming to various parts of the country, just how extensive his tour for the new CD would be. His reply was he is talking to the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT about 3 dates there (Yeeeehawww!) and that we should contact our local venues, etc. and encourage them to contact him. He's not giving up and I'm so happy about that!!!! He and the guys put on a really good show and he's so talented. They played at the party for an hour and a half and I didn't think I'd ever again meet someone so incredibly sweet and engaging and so appreciative of the fans.


During the party there was a silent auction and a raffle for dinner for 4 with Ty after the party and some time on his bus. Unfortunately neither Val and I nor Jim and Cathy or the Yukon girls (Leanne and Michele) won but you can imagine the money spent on that raffle! Oddly enough, someone from OK won which was so unfair. LOL There were some pretty cool items up for auction though, including the blue and black striped shirt of Ty's that Jimmy wore in the Dr. Pepper commercial. I was rooked out of that but I won some other cool stuff. :) It was good seeing Cindy again and I now know why she flys for Ty! After the party, I walked up to Ty and told him I had to give him 2 hugs, one was for the autographed photo he sent via Dale and the other was for Dale. He remembered her and I told him just how wonderful a person she is...he agreed! During our conversation Ty said to me that he wished he had a million more fans like me. Well he does! The majority just haven't seen him perform and/or met him yet. I love ya Ty...the kids have grown a foot since 2001. Shanna is as pretty as ever and I can't wait for the party next year! If I find that genie in a bottle, stardom will be yours...you certainly deserve it. ;) I gave Kyle a hug for Dale and that kiss I received on the cheek was immediately sent to her. The Ty*phoon* did not end with this party, there's more of Ty during Fan Fair, including a couple of cool moments.
