The first meeting of Fan Joyce Hoyle and Linda

I first heard Linda sing "Bells of St. Paul" on the "Rosie Show" five years ago and have been hooked ever since…the following year I saw her live for the first time here in Rhode Island…then I was lucky enough to see her at Proctors' in Albany followed by a Valentine's Day "Meet & Greet" at Yono's Restaurant where she, ever so graciously, sat for upwards of two hours just talking and posing for pictures with her adoring fans.

Obviously, the first impression one has of Linda Eder is the sound of that incredible voice that can go from angelic to bombastic in a heartbeat with that final note going on forever…but after meeting her you see there is so much more to her than the voice…she is caring, kind, gracious and has a great sense of humor. While speaking with her you find that she looks you right in the eye, much like a friend does…I found it extremely rare to meet a "celebrity" as kind and with as much humility…oh yes, did I forget to say, drop dead gorgeous and to top it off…who knew????

An incredible actress and artist?? This gal doesn't have an ounce of "Diva" in her…it's no wonder her army grows daily!! Now if we could just get her back on Broadway in CAMILLE CLAUDEL, the rest of the world could know. But for now to all "Lindaholics" she will forever remain "our Linda"…and long may she reign…

I found Linda on her Christmas show 2002 on television (PBS) and was amazed by her fantastic voice. When she sang "If I Had My Way" and the tears rolled down her cheeks, I was hooked! I thought if she feels her songs as deeply as that I had to learn more about this gal. Wow, I now have five CDs "Gold," "It's Time," "It's No Secret Anymore," "And So Much More," and her Christmas CD. Her PC screen saver now greets me very often with her beautiful face! I have been telling everyone I know about her and that she is coming to the Community Arts Theatre here in Williamsport to try and fill the seats. I have emailed all of the people in my address book with a short sample of her fantastic voice. I took a picture of Linda and concert info for my dentist and his secretary during my last appointment. I tell all of my neighbors and friends about Linda and how I love her three octave range voice so often that my wife tells them that I am in love with her! I just want to share a good thing with others. To love someone, you must know them. I do not know Linda, but I am in love with her voice as I know it intimately. Besides I am 65 and married to the greatest gal for 40 years. Now I am writing a letter to the editor of our newspaper to tell the people not to miss out on one of the best talents to come to town in a long time. Can't wait until April 1st. I'm as anxious as a mosquito going to a nudist colony!

My dad and I are huge Linda Eder fans. Recently, we were lucky enough to be given the opportunity, at a charity event, to meet her. However brief the meeting neither one of us will ever forget it. She was so kind. Her voice is so amazing. I have two daughters, ages 21 and 17. Both of them also love Linda and her music. It is a pleasure to have events such as her concerts to take the whole family to enjoy. Thank you Linda for sharing your talent with all of us. We love you and look forward to more music A.S.A.P.

The Maier "Fan-ily" and Linda

Some people thought we were crazy when we told them we were traveling 18 hours from home to see you perform… okay, I thought so too when Tammy suggested it, but, Linda, you are worth it! Your kindness and generosity towards my family challenge even the exquisiteness of your beauty. You are a rare talent who has brought immeasurable joy and some cherished new relationships into our lives. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to your audience and to your fans. I think I speak for all of us when I say how much we all love you. You truly exist in a class all by yourself. Next time we see you I hope it's in a city that allows left turns and doesn't require Mapquest for directions. I'll also try and bring an extra can of bug spray for all those pesky critters that like to follow you around on stage. One thing I do know is that somewhere out there in "Broadway Land" a little sculptor is crafting a Tony award with your name on it. I think Camille just might be the ticket!
