Michael - my wife and I have seen your concerts many times and enjoyed them all. A couple of years ago you played at the Wharton Center in East Lansing on the campus of Michigan State University. I've always wanted to tell you that, while it was a great concert, we were very disappointed in the way you seemed to snub the audience and not do any encore. You came out a couple of times, but smiled at the conductor as you shook your head no to his suggestions of an encore. I believe there was a travel schedule snafu due to a storm somewhere, and you arrived late, but we felt you could have explained to the audience. Instead, you kind of left us standing there - it took the edge off our fandom. I see you're coming back to East Lansing. We plan to make the concert - I hope your travel plans go a little smoother.
