@eurocelticyankee,
I've never been able to see him. Back when I was still married, he came to Boston on my birthday. I told my ex about the concert three months in advance; gave him a flyer for it and reminded him about it two weeks later.
My ex's college generally has its reunion on a weekend near my birthday and my ex went annually. When he told me that he was going that year, I asked whether he bought the Christie tickets. He had no idea what I was talking about.
I don't think Christie has been here since.
Blow a kiss at Christie for me.
