And tonight, I readied the shiny gold dollar, inspired by my friend Sherri. I placed the Hello Kitty necklace (because the Tooth Fairy always brings something special for the first tooth) in the box by her door.
Oooh oooh i wanna touch the sky, i wanna fly so high
Oooh oooh i wanna hold you, i wanna love you tonight
Oooh oooh i wanna touch the sky, i wanna fly so high
Oooh oooh i wanna satisfy, i wanna make you cry
Oooh oooh i wanna touch, the sky i wanna fly so high
Oooh oooh i wanna hold you, i wanna love you tonight
Oooh oooh i wanna touch the sky, i wanna fly so high
Oooh oooh i wanna satisfy, i wanna make you cry
Nina,
I messaged you several times. Please look at the messages. We hope to come to the Weyers Cave concert on Thursday. We will be bringing the friend I mentioned that just found out she has cancer. This may be the last time she gets to see Jimmy. We just was at the Rockingham Fairgrounds as well. She loves Jimmy so much as I do as well.
Hi I am Braelynn and I am 11 years old. I am normally the only kid at your shows I have been to,so I am bringing my friend. Our family will have 4 generations with me at your concert at Carrollton and I hope to see you after the show.I love your music.
Jimmy would you please come back to the monroe county theater in woodsfield ohio I had no idea that you where there this past year. My grandma was a big fan of yours and I helped care for her this year we would always take a Saturday or Sunday and we would watch your videos on YouTube she loved your voice and music made her happy in her last days. She passed in September due to covid at 88. I would love to come to your show in honor of her!

It was a blessing to be at the show in Massillon, Ohio last night. My wife was hopefully to be with me but passed away November 22. I thank you and Jimmy for speaking with me and to have a picture taken. My wife Linda and I came to the Lancaster, Pa. Show in 2006 and had the best weekend ever, making many new friends. Massillon is where I live now, only five minutes driving distance from The Lincoln Theatre. It was a joy to hear Jimmy live again and in a way, relive some memories. My wife would have loved the concert. If you get to this part of Ohio again or Western Pennsylvania I will be there again. God Bless and safe journeys.
We were at the show in Branson last night Nov 11 2021 Veterans Day. Great show. It was the best. Have been waiting for awhile to see him in person. He might remember me shouting We love you!!! Was happy he heard me and made a joke back. He also said there would be something extra in my envelope. Haha. Will he be in Branson again if so when. Or even closer to my home. Just south of Waco Tx. I have just about worn my CD out and I did not get to wait for him to sign my autograph. God really did give him the voice of an angel
My mom and I love Jimmy and his music. Several years ago my mom had a stroke which over time took her ability to say anything other than yes. One of the last concerts we were able to attend was Jimmy in Wiersdale June 2018. My dad passed the following October and my mom had to be placed in a nursing home. I took my Jimmy CD for her to listen to and even though she could only say yes, she tried to sing with him. My mom passed away September 2019. Because of her love for Jimmy and his father, I had songs/hymns played from the CD.
hello Nina
I wonder if I could ask a favor of jimmy, my wife and I will be celebrating our 45th anniversary March 15th we will be at his concert in branson March 14th, my wife would love it if he would recognize it wehave front row seats
Is it possible to get piano arrangement for How Great Thou Art on the I believe CD. I am going to sing it in church and would love to get sheet music for it. Jimmy sang it for my 105 year old mother-in-law at the Mining Camp a couple of years ago with Sydney playing violin and we loved it. Do you ever hear from Vinny and Debbie. We had hoped they would rebuild. God Bless you both
Nina, Will jimmy tour this next year in the New Mexico, Colorado area in 2020? I have a venue that seats 350. Would love to have him. If possible. Btw. He and I sang back to back on the country music cruise. At the piano bar. What a blast!!! Plz. LMK.
I absolutely love listening to Jimmy and was wondering if he will be coming back to The Orange Blossom Opry in Weirsdale, Fl. during the winter months. I saw him last December and his show was amazing! I know that he will be there in May, but since I am a snowbird, I will not be in Florida at that time.
I loved seeing both of you on The Country Music Cruise!!
Cannot wait until Saturday night to see you and Jimmy in Lovingston. We have b een driving down from Pennsylvania each year he has done the show at the high school to raise money for the music department. We love seeing you two in York, PA too in December but this show in Lovingston is special.
Nina,
Any idea when your dearly beloved will be coming to East Tennessee other than the Gather Fest in May 2019? Thank You
in advance.

Hi Nina,
My sister and I saw Jimmy in Knoxville, IA June 1st and he was fantastic. In checking his tour schedule, it shows that he will be at the Woodstock Opera House in Woodstock, IL on Sept. 28. That is only about 25 miles from my house and we would love to see him again. In trying to book tickets, there is nothing on their schedule for a show on Sept 28. Please advise. Thanks
Really enjoyed your performance at Harding University in Searcy, AR tonight. It was wonderful. I also want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the hug. My husband told you about me being just told I am in remission from Stage IV Lung Cancer. When you heard that you asked if you could give me a hug. That really made my night. I still am taking chemotherapy every 3 weeks but with God being in control I can beat this. I really appreciate it and all you do. God Bless and prayers for safe travels.
I really love hearing Jimmy sing.. You can really feel the spirt upon him when he sings.
Was wondering if he would ever consider coming to Jacksonville Florida, better yet Middleburg just outside of Jacksonvilee.
I talked to Jimmy in New Holland PA. Could you do cheaper cruise? Also could you guys come to New England. I love to hear and see Jimmy sing. In New Holland it was great to see him have so much fun singing. I miss seeing you too.
Just saw Jimmy in Weirsdale fl , we are avid fans and love all his music . He took his time with us , had a pic taken , he is absolutely wonderful and his songs have true inspirational meanings , hoping to see him again when we visit PA . Thank you Jimmy for such a wonderful concert. Pam and Art
me and my wife went to show at NCHS on the 19th, jimmy did a fantastic job as always,his music and singing really touched us, we bought a hits and hymn cd and and he autographed it for my wife, i just love the I Believe song, the students performance at the beginning of the show was great, also the musicians,and the woman singer was great , thank all of you, and the school for such a wonderful unforgetable night.
The Barnes & Noble Review
Alexandra "Bobo" Fuller's journey crosses unchartered roads. This dazzlingly written memoir of a young English-born girl, whose family moves to strife-torn Rhodesia in 1972, paints a canvas of a landscape few Americans will easily recognize. The family barely scrapes by as Rhodesia is ravaged by war, then relocates to the bleak, inhospitable landscape of Malawi and finally settles on a farm in Zambia. Along the way, these insistent white settlers encounter an environment many might question. Three of the five Fuller children die before the age of two; only the author and her sister Vanessa survive. Their mother struggles with fierce bouts of alcoholism and breakdowns that ultimately are diagnosed as manic-depressive episodes. Meanwhile, their father fights in the Rhodesian bush for months at a time. In the tradition of other white European women before her, such as Isak Dinesen, Bobo falls in love with an Africa she cannot be a part of and yet cannot walk away from. "My soul has no home," she movingly writes. "I am neither African, nor English nor am I of the sea."The book may be somewhat disturbing in its politics, depending on one's viewpoint on the Rhodesian struggle, but as a writer, Fuller gives us a tour de force. We see, hear, and even smell the Africa of her childhood. Ultimately, Let's Don't Go to the Dogs Tonight becomes a 20th-century swan song to the long story of colonials in Africa; in this case, told from the inside out. And as such it makes for riveting reading. (Elena Simon)Elena Simon lives in New York City.
Fuller's debut is a keen-eyed, sharp-voiced memoir of growing up white in 1970s Africa. Born in England in 1969, the author by age three had moved to civil-war-torn Rhodesia, where her parents had lived before they lost an infant son to meningitis. Tim and Nicola Fuller ran a farm on Rhodesia's eastern edge. Mozambique, just across the border, was deep into its own civil war, and in this hostile geopolitical climate the Fullers struggled for a toehold that would keep Rhodesia white-ruled. In 1976, Nicola gave birth to a daughter who drowned in a duck puddle less than two years later. Minority rule ended in 1979; the country began its gradual, uneasy metamorphosis into independent Zimbabwe. The Fullers lost their land; Nicola bore and for the third time lost a child. To gain distance from all this failure, the family moved to dictator-controlled Malawi before ultimately settling in Zambia, where Tim and Nicola remain to this day. Fuller makes no apologies for her parents' (especially her mother's) politics. The loose structure and short takes here crystallize and polish the general subjects-race, politics, history, home, loss-into diamond-hard clarity without sacrificing the pace and intensity of the narrative or distracting the reader from the appeal of the personal. Like Dinesen, the author takes an elegiac tone, but it's balanced by a bouncy lyricism derived from compression, humor, and gimlet-eyed compassion. Fuller loved and loves her Africa; in the final analysis that passion takes a bright and vivid story to the next level, and even further. An illuminating, even thrillingly fresh perspective on the continent's much-discussed post-colonial problems.
