We saw him in concert tonight. What a performer.

His band is also fabulous.

Years ago I saw Paul walking in the Oaks Mall, Thousand Oaks, CA -- no one was around - except for me and my friend. He was wearing sun-glasses and I recognized him immediately - as we're the same age and I remembered his music when he started singing. I said 'Hi Paul" and he was very unfriendly. He ducked into Penney's to get away from us. I thought he was strange. Turned out that he lived nearby in Westlake Village, CA and was in a bad marriage!!!! He was always a great performer - but anti-social.

I'm so sorry for you . I know the the feeling with Celebrities, especially when we have them on a pedestal.I have had that treatment more than once.

We are seeing TB in Philadelphia in early November too. At 92 he just released a new album.

We've seen some really great concerts this year. We have one more in December; Andrea Bocelli almost always comes to the NYC in mid December. It's a perfect (for us) holiday treat.

We have seen him twice, first time was about 15 years ago at a small local venue and he was amazing and we saw him last year at one of the CT casinos and another amazing show

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

lulu1,

My very first concert was a Paul Anka concert at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City in 1958, I believe. I was very young but IN LOVE with him. Atlantic City used to be our family's vacation spot (this is back when it was a clean and decent vacation destination -- what a horror it is now!).

I was able to get his autograph that someone stole from my autograph book. Grrrr. Not many will recognize this name, but I also had Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver's autograph. As was the custom at the time, officials from the U.S. Government would come to our large local cemetery where Francis Scott Key is buried and speak after laying wreaths on what we called Decoration Day (now Memorial Day). That is where I showed up with my little book.
