This is a recent email from the woman who booked me for “New Year’s Gorham” (ME)

Randy, I just heard from a mother who was in the front row at Gorham High School with her 9-year old son. They LOVED your performance.

But, the little boy was sure you had lost your mind. He kept saying to his
mother, “Someone should tell that man that there is no rope. That poor man
actually thinks he has a rope and there isn’t a rope.” The mother told me he
had never seen mime before so she tried to explain to him what you were
doing. He just didn’t get it – he is still talking about the man who thought
he had a rope.

By the way, this boy was one of the kids you had conducting the German
orchestra – he loved that part, too.

This woman told me that she recently moved back to Gorham, and someone gave her the buttons to go to New Year Gorham as a “welcome” gift to Gorham. She felt her life was turned around on New Year’s Eve because they forgot all their troubles, laughed, laughed, and felt welcome.

Heartwarming stories like that make me happy!
