Thanks, Bobby, for all the wonderful music, I have never stopped listening to all of your great songs, have went through a couple of cds of yours always carry them in my truck or car. My Wife and I saw You at Diamond Jo's Casino here a while back and have been trying to catch your other concerts, as many as possible. Your songs have and will stick with me forever, reminds me of good days, wonderful days of the past.
Thanks,

Recently my wife and I had the incredible opportunity to attend a birthday celebration. This was not a typical “sing happy birthday and blow out the candles” party. As described by the honoree herself, this was a sharing of joy. In honor of her 65th birthday, she wanted to invite family, friends and high school classmates to share in her joy of life.
She chose a rock ‘n’ roll party featuring the Original Stars at Bandstand including Fabian, Bobby Vee, the Chiffons, Brian Hyland and Chris Montez. What an evening of joy this was. For a few hours, the room was filled with great music, smiling faces and many wonderful teenage memories. I can hardly wait to see what she does for her next milestone birthday!

Hi Bobby,
After seeing you several times already in the past month we figured we'd keep on going. So on our drive home from your awesome show in Fairmont, we decided to see about a few others. We just got tickets and t-shirts for Virginia show and we're still trying for SD. but they don't seem to know anything yet. We'll be seeing you in Minnetonka, MN the end of the month. I'm so excited.
See you soon, a huge fan

Hi,
Just thought you may like to see some of our Bobby photos from this month. He takes a great picture. Don't you think he is very handsome (this is aimed at the girls). I do have more pics to send at various times, of other things - these Bobby ones are some of the most important! Will send more when I can,
Love Ruth xx

I hope this is not a 2nd e-mail from me. I did send one last week but it came back as undeliverable.
We saw Booby and the family at the Fallsview on July 1st. It was a great show but as always it is the way Bobby gives of his time that is so remarkable. What a generous man he is. The apple does not fall from the tree as we also met Jeff and Tommy and again such approachable men and willing to talk when I'm sure they are tired and just want some down time. Great family!
We will look forward to another show in our area.

Hi Bobby,
AWESOME, AWESOME show at Fairmont Opera House last night! We had so much fun and we seem to be making new friends wth the Bobby followers. We have a group that is really interested in a cruise. I've told them how much fun I had on the 3 I got to go on! Remember how I told you the July 3rd show was extra special for me. Thank you for making my day better. See you in Minnitonka. Remember the Posters!!! Thanks!! A HUGE FAN

Just been reading the fan mail on Bobby's latest tour...........seems like it was/is a gas. Needless to say I am green with envy at all those rave revues posted by his regular supporters. Maybe next year I will be able to see for myself.
I gather Bobby is a very personable guy and takes time out to get to know his fans...that is quite something in this day and age.
It would be amazing to meet him. Long may he continue.
All the best

We will meet up with Renee and Wanda and also with Ruth Johnson and her family from the U.K.---can't wait!!! We have met some real avid BV fans through these concerts!!

Hi Bobby,
It's been awhile since my husband and I have seen you and the boys, and we're missing the oldies!
(I'm referring to your music not you although we miss you too ) L.O.L.
The last time was three years ago in Branson, which we loved.
We also had some time with you in the restaurant beside the concert in Branson and then the next morning
you came and sat with us at breakfast, which made my day, month, year and forever. haha!
The last time you were in Niagara Falls, I had trouble getting tickets, but this time I managed to get tickets and I'm so happy!
I wanted to give you a heads up where we'll be in the audience. We will be sitting in
the 6th row, seats 9 and 10. I'll be the one waving and making a fool out of herself
probably L.O.L.
Hopefully you'll be doing a meet and greet after and we can say hi.
Lots of Love

I sent an earlier e-mail regarding the upcoming shows on July1&2. Glad to report we were able to get tickets and really looking forward to seeing Bobby again. The show 2 years ago was fantastic and I'm sure this will not disappoint. It is also Canada Day on July 1st so it will make the celebration even better.

Today been thinking back to this time last year. This time last year, me and my family Vee-I-Ps were seeing Bobby, the Vees and Fabian at Winnipeg, Canada. We had a great time, and we twisted on stage to Fabian's "Like A Tiger". At least we have just over 8 weeks before we see Bobby - not too long to wait I guess (providing our flights are ok due to the recent Icelandic ash problems). Fingers crossed. It is great to think back to our Bobby concerts, but we miss him and his family. Tomorrow last year, we saw him in Regina, Canada, and then Sat we saw him in Moosejaw, Canada. Don't you think it is great to re-live our Bobby experiences. The Vees rock!

I see that it is Bobby's birthday tomorrow (30th April). Please wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and pass on my very best to him.
67 eh?.....He is still a youngster in comparison to Cliff Richard........Keep on trucking man!
Sorry I won't be able to make it in time to see him in Niagara in July, but I am sure there will be other opportunities.
All the best

Bobby,
Happy 67th birthday, and thank you for great music through the years. I probably heard you first on the radio around 1961 or 1962. I’ve enjoyed your music ever since. Thanks too for being so cordial to your fans. May God grant you many more happy, healthy years.

It was so nice to hear you on cousin Brucie today on XM radio 60’s on 6. We still enjoy the music you play. We are planting our corn this week and enjoy listening to the oldies as we are in the tractors. It makes our day really fun. We hope to see you this summer in Minnesota somewhere.
