Fran Cannon


Meet Fran Cannon from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

My name is Fran Cannon from surburban Philadelphia, and a father of two girls. I have been a fan for over 20 years with every album, cassette, and cd ever made. Well, I have seen the boys over 9 times the last was at Trump Casino this past summer. Had the ultimate chance to go backstage with my wife to meet Dewey, Gerry, Michael, Brad, and Willie and talk , eat, and take pictures for about an hour. Ya know, when you grow up listening to a sound that you think is the best music, and then see a group over 9 times, then to get the chance to meet the guys in a very private setting, it is the ultimate. Michael Woods is the cousin of my attorney's secretary, Jean Marie. We brought so much food with us even though there was such a spread out in the dressing room. Dewey and Gerry were so very gracious. They are idols, something the world has very little of anymore. My younger girl, Mary Catherine, age 14, gave me the new CD for Christmas the other day. It is really terrific. I had been looking for it for a few months and couldn't find it. Let's just say I've listened to it more than a few times! Kept saying to my wife, you know they played this one and that one last summer. They really sound better than ever. Seriously, they do. The songs From a Moving Train, Wednesday Morning, and Pages mare my favorite and they played them in Atlantic City. Jean Marie, my wife, and I will be visiting again when they come anywhere near Philadelphia. And we'll bring those chocolate chip cookies Michael and Dewey like again. Its just terrific to finally meet the people that one truely admire after all of these years. We framed the autographed pictures, the pictures taken with my wife and I, and the guitar picks that they gave us. That hour was one of the best hours of my life.

Love the new CD. We can't wait until you come near Phila.

Your big fan, Fran Cannon
