Dear Josh,

I am writing this in letter format as if I were writing to a friend. If you were my friend I would write you this letter because I might not have the courage to tell you all that your music and the person you are has meant to me.

I discovered your music in 2004 after I went to see the movie, “Polar Express”. I loved the song and your voice.

I had just bought a new imac laptop and had downloaded itunes. When I started listening to little snatches of your songs, I realized what a gift your voice was to the world.

I am a pianist, singer and music teacher. I played music for twenty years with my husband, Jack. We played all kinds of music from Bob Dylan to jazz standards. My background is classical.

My husband passed away suddenly of a heart attack in 2004. Needless to say, I was devastated. I had a really hard time playing the music that we used to play together. That’s where you come in. After I started listening to your music, you gradually inspired me to play again. The more I listened to your music, I started to feel a feeling of serenity and comfort.

The first and only Josh Groban concert I have ever been to was in St. Louis, Mo. in 2004 (He hasn't been to St. Louis since....which is really sad since the Awake album was so phenomenal). I remember that I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. When they started to play the opening number and Josh started to sing, I got tears in my eyes. I just could not believe I was sharing the same space as one of my favorite musical artists. We were really high up in the nosebleed section, so we could not see very well, but I remember yelling to Josh with my friends. We knew it was a long shot to yell something at him, and have him respond but we decided to give it a try.
We then yelled to him "You're yummy!!" (We had a thing in high school with saying the word yummy about everything). It's pretty embarassing that I actually said that to Josh Groban...but whatever. He actually responded, though. He said, "Thank you" in a really unsure tone...and I would have done the same if a bunch of 15 year old girls told me I was yummy.
Nonetheless I had a great time at the concert, and it is the only concert besides an Eagles concert that I have gotten teary-eyed at.

At this concert, we had great seats, on the side. There was one part where Josh was in the audience, and was walking down the isles! We were so excited, as we were just about to have him walk by - when he turned left and went down another isle. I was so bummed, but I got a great picture :o) and memory! (the picture isn't digital yet, and needs to be found!)

It was a warm october night when i escorted my mum to the famous Sydney Opera house to commence to see josh groban live we got ushered to our seats and we could see everything the pre act was on before josh came out but she did a good job to warm the crowd up... then the main event started and Josh with his awesome voice ever came on the stage and the opera house was filled with cheers from the crowd, and when he sang In her eyes he literally passed behind us not close enough to touch him but we saw him in the flesh around us and that made the night for both my mum and myself and we cannot await to see josh come out to sydney again and hopefully fill out Acer Arena for another sold out tour !!
good job Josh awesome tour well done !
