George -
I want to thank you so much for everything you are doing to
support our Canadian guys and gals in Afghanistan. It means
the world to us, the families at home, that you devoted your
time to perform for them on Canada Day, and that you sent a
personal farewell message to them on their departure. To top
it off, the personal touch for me, personally, to get positive
thoughts delivered from Kandahar, was incredible. Thanks so
much again for standing behind those who serve, and their families.

I
just wanted to tell you, I know you wrote that song "My
Name" for a friend and his wife, but you have touched so
many others with it. Last year, we lost our son to still birth.
I was 5 1/2 months along, so we knew he was a boy, and we did
know his name. However since we lost him, we have been trying
for another baby, it took us 10 months to finally concieve and
then we had a miscarrige at 7 1/2 weeks along. It was heartbreaking..
and it felt like such a different loss. In a way, I felt like
I was dishonoring that child because since we didn't know gender,
we couldn't name him/her. Your song just brought peace to me
that I've needed to feel for the last couple of months. Thank
you so, so very much. I can't begin to tell you what it means
to me. Your words are a blessing to myself and so many others
I'm sure. Thank you George. I pray that you continue to be blessed.
Sincerely, Kristine Morgantini

Hey
George and Band, Thank you for a great concert in Portage La
Prairie. It was by far the best performance i have been to this
year. I have been to all of your concerts in manitoba and can't
wait for you to come back.

I
just have to thank you George for giving your fans the opportunity
to enjoy your truly awesome voice. No matter how often I listen
to your music I am always amazed at the depth and strength of
your voice. I am sure I will never get tired of listening to
you. Your tribute to Seven Spanish Angels gives me goose bumps
when I listen to it. I enjoyed your show last September in Penticton,
B.C. Hope you will make it out this way again. I will be the
first in line to purchase a ticket. Keep on singing so I can
keep on listening. Thank You.

George &
Band, What an awesome concert in Portage la prairie, Manitoba.
I think by the crowd you can see what a great performer you
are. I just want to say Thanks to you & your band for going
over to play for the soldiers. I am sure if you put on a performance
like you did here, they where proud to be serving and some giving
their lives. Way to go and keep up the great concerts.

to thank George for his beautiful song "My Name".
My wife and i have lost 7 babies to miscarriage. We will never
know there names but know that others have experienced the same
loss and hear his words and are such a comfort to us both.

Dear George,
I understand that you are returning to Afghanistan for a July
1st concert.
I and many others would greatly appreciate it if you would send
a message to the troops who are there, but not able to attend
any entertainment venues.Administrative staff, troops in the
field, as well as the troops who are,, lets say, behind the
scenes. Headquarters men & women who work very long hours
to ensure that"all goes according to plan". Thank
you for your support of our troops and the families that wait
for their safe return.

Hi George,
I just got Your CD Classics, and I must admit that I was very
impressed, being a long time country music listener and a past
music teacher and instrument player, I have heard many different
artists since the early 1940's You are truly great, I hope to
see You soon in an upcoming concert, keep up the good work.

Hey
George! THANK YOU for the great concert in Regina this past
Thursday. You truly are an amazing entertainer! I saw you at
the Tattoo Festival and was so impressed with your stage presence
and talent that I purchased the tickets to your concert right
away! Then - your concert totally blew me away! I have no doubt
that your career is going to be a long one and look forward
to many more albums and concerts! Your charity work with diabetes
and your dedication to our troops says a lot about your character.
Thank you. Hope to see you again soon.

George,
There are some things money can't buy. But, you already know
that. You will always be fondly remembered for your songs and
your dedication to those who don't have the same natural talent
as you. You inspire us all. I mean, somebody wrote love right?
Congrats on being a great person and a great role model.

Hey
George, My wife, Debbie, and I just got home from your entertaining
concert in Regina and have to let you know that we were thoroughly
satisfied with the whole evening. From the start with Gord Bamford
nailing his songs, to your performances, we left the house feeling
entertained. Thanks for all you do, especially with the Canadian
Armed Forces (your tribute song was fantastic) and have continued
success. We would also love to have you come to Craven and entertain
all country fans in the future. Best of luck to you and your
great band!

To George
Canyon And Crew, I was so happy to hear that you were returning
to Drayton Valley this winter. I loved your show last year.
Even better is the fact that you are here on the night of my
25th wedding anniversary. What a special night that could be.
Then I find out that all the tickets are sold out. WHAT!?! It
is June......I don't know what pull you have with booking facilities,
but we would love to see you again. Please.
Sincerely,

I have seen. I love the fact that you are so personel with the
crowd and the band members, I brag about you all day long at
work, I'm sure my co-workers are ready to tape my mouth shut

thing: your t-shirt makes a great dress jamie. Your new fan.

I just wanted
to say thank you for coming out to Base Borden. Your show was
amazing, it made us laugh and cry. That was pretty special what
you did for those two little boys at the concert. My daughter
works with their father and they are still showing of the hats
you gave them. You and your band are very special people. Thank
you for sharing. May God Bless you all.

came from your concert at Base Borden, a small intimate crowd,
sorry for the people that missed it. It was AWESOME!! Our military

We
want to give you a big hand on the old classics you have brought
back. The only time we can hear these beautiful songs are Saturday
night Classics on Country 101.9. It is great to hear them through
the week as well.Too bad they wouldn't play them more. Keep
them coming George. You are doing a great job. P.S My 10 year
old son wants me to tell you he is a huge fan..( he really is!)

Hello
there! Looking forward to your upcoming concert in Wingham,
Ontario. My husband and I are taking our 10 yr old daughter
Leslie, who was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes just over a year
ago. We wanted her to see that if you follow your dreams,,,even
if you are faced with an illness such as diabetes,,,,you can
still be successful. We all love your music and are really hoping
for a chance to say "hello" to you. This is Leslie's
first real concert and she is certainly looking forward to it.
She too has just recently started on the insulin pump and it
certainly has made her life a bit easier. Just for her to sit
and listen to you and see you in person will be a wonderful
incentive for her. Can't wait!!
Meg Young, Harriston - 05/22/2008

Hi
There: I was at your concert in Lindsay last fall and I have
to say that it was truly the most amazing concert I have ever
been to (and I've been to quite a few) to name a couple, Vince
Gill, Reba, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn and they're all
fantastic, but your concert was so personal and laid back and
your interaction with everyone was so great that I truly feel
that it was the best concert ever. I certainly look forward
to seeing another concert of yours. I got your Classics album
for christmas and one evening, I was in my bedroom playing it
and my son heard it and came knocking on my door and asked if
he could listen to it. He also loved it and since he's 28 and
into an entirely different kind of music, it really shocked
me (but pleased me as well) that he loved your music so much.
Like I said, I look forward to your next concert in my neck
of the woods (which I just discovered today) will be in June
and as soon as I write this to you, I will be calling for tickets
to come see you, probally in Peterborough. Can't wait. Take
care and best to you and all your family. God Bless.

As a Canadian
Soldier i want to say thank you for the song "I want you
to live". It brought a tear to my eye and helped me remember
the friends that i have lost.
05/03/2008
..................................................................................
I
received the CD with the song about the soldiers in Afghanistan
on it from my grandchildren last Christmas. I loved the whole
CD. George should try recording the song “My Daddy is
Only A Picture” which was earlier recorded by Eddie Arnold
in the late 1940s. After making it through WWII as an RCAF pilot,
my Father was killed testing a plane for the RCAF in 1950, just
a little while after Eddie recorded it. A family friend gave
it to me after his death, and it always gave me a tremendous
amount of comfort. I’m sure it gave the same comfort to
many other family members and little boys and girls. It wasn’t
one of Eddie’s “big” hits, but it was always
his biggest hit with me. I’m sure it could give the same
amount of comfort to many NATO Canadian, American, British,
etc. families involved in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Al Doherty, Pickering, Ontario, Canada - 04/30/2008
..................................................................................
First
of all we would like to congratulate you on becoming on honorary
Colonel. We have always been big fans of yours and have just
found out in late summer that you were a Type 1 diabetic when
we received an email about a visit in the valley promoting animas
insulin pump. We couldn't attend and were sad to miss your visit.
We were just moving to Greenwood at the time. So finding out
a few months later that you were made on honorary Colonel in
the area we just relocated was wonderful news. My 8 year old
daughter Madison is the type 1 diabetic and she looks up to
you as a hero. Actually we are in the market for a pump and
she said "Mom we should get the one like George Canyon!!".
Funny enough, the animas pump rep left my house just a few hours
ago!!! All the best and we really can't wait to meet you. Good
luck with everything, God Bless.

Hi
George, we wanted to tell you that we thoroughly enjoyed the
“Alberta Country Salute” concert at the Southern
Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on April 3rd. We flew out toCalgary
to see you for Vera’s 73rd birthday (April 4th). You and
the band seem to be getting better and better each time we see
you (11 times now). Gord Bamford was also terrific. We got a
kick out of him looking under his stage stool for your “joke”
device (again…). We’re looking forward to your next
trip out to BC (or another cruise). Hi to Jen and the family.

George:
I was reading your website on my lunch and saw that you were
a diabetic. I was diagnosed in February while on vacation in
California. It is surprising to learn how many people have diabetes.
It is good that there is allot of education for us so we can
live healthy lives and continue on for our families and our
communities. Keep up the good work and keep making good music.

are an amazing artist and truly deserve it!

Heey
George! Hows it been? Awesome I hope lol. It was really fun
when you came down to Grand Falls and talked about insulin pumps.
I got one shortly after. A medtronic minimed one. It's purple
hehe. :) It is a lot better than needles and I love sleeping
in 'til about dinner time on weekends. ;) I was dissapointed
though, that I couldn't go to your concert. :( I hope you come
back to lil' ol' Newfoundland. Well right now I am listening
to Ring of Fire it's such a funky song I love <3 it! My brother
Trevor is really into your music too. He doesn't listen to anything
teenagers would listen to anymore he likes really old songs.
Stuff my grandfather listens to lol. But he still listens to
some new stuff like your new songs and other stuff but anyways
I must be going now I left my xbox 360: rockband on downstairs.
Thats the best game ever in history :) lol. Talk to you again
sometime xox!

You will love , cherish , and never let him go . He will teach
you Truth, Humility, and shape your Character , to the full

George:
When I heard you at CFB Greenwood, I was just in awe; then my
husband advised me you were going to be Honorary Colonel. There
are no words to express how proud our Military should be, to
have such a fine gentleman representing us all throughout Canada.
My husband has entered his 34th year in the Military, posted
in Greenwood. I have participated greatly on different bases
as we have been posted. Unfortunately, Karl is posted in Greenwood,
we live in Aylesford and I work in Dartmouth, therefore, I am
away from my family every week. I go into the City on Monday
and go home to the Valley on Friday. As you are well aware,
family is the most important living thing that keeps us going
and getting up in the morning to say “It is going to be
a good day”. I offer to you any assistance you may need
in preparing for any events in Greenwood. I have already been
in consultation with both the Chief of 404 Squadron and the
CO, to start arranging a Mixed Mess Dinner. They laugh at me
because they know I am in the City all week, but am also thinking
of how to prepare for the dinner in Greenwood. Again, my offering
of my assistance is there for you should you require it. heers
to you and your family in Okotos, Alberta. You do not live very
far from where I boarded my horses.

HEY!
My daughter (15 yrs old) and I are at the opposite page when
it comes to music...but when she heard you sing at the Spencerville
fair this year, it brought us much closer than I could imagine.
It was our first concert together and we had alot of fun with
you and your music. I just found out 2 weeks ago, my favorite
cousin who is more like my brother has only 6 months to live
because of cancer.Your song I Want You To Live, was the first
song he played before he told me. I know you wrote it for the
soldiers...but it also touched us in a different way.Soon I'll
be without him and I'll have to go on. Thanks for being such
a down-to-earth family kinda guy. Thanks for making my life
and the ones I love a little more happy and a little less sad.
All the best to you and your family.

Hi
George, I woke up this morning and felt compelled to write and
thank you for your music, your community work and for being
such a fantastic role model (for kids, families, faith, charity
work and aspiring artists. Your classics cd made it into everybody's
stocking this past Christmas! My family and I were very blessed
to see you in concert in Courtenay (Vancouver Island), where
you kicked off your tour last fall. I was the mom who told you
my husband was from Bear River, NS and you laughed....most people
do! I also mentioned that my daughter (11yrs.old) was a singer
and the advice you gave her was to attend university. Both my
husband and I are Acadia grads, so we know of a nice little
joint to send her! Your concert, your music, but mostly your
grounded attitude have had an enormous impact on Haley (that's
our Martina wannabe!). Thank you for that - truly. You are indeed
a gift. I'm sure you well remember those days when you sang
as a kid and dreamed of bigger things. If you feel so inclined,
you can see Haley perform a couple of songs on youtube. Pop
in her name (Haley Isles) and enjoy a kid with a dream! Thanks
also for supporting our troops. I come from a military family
and my brother and brother-in-law are currently in the Forces
and have served overseas many times. My husband is with the
RCMP and works diligently to promote peace in this wonderful
country of ours. Many blessings to you and Jen and the kids.

Hi
George, Good luck with the ECMA this year! I just want to say
Thank you for the tremendous sentiment and courage in your video/song
“I want you to live”. My tears still flow …
I am a Canadian soldier, who did a tour in Afghanistan; I also
lost my dear husband (Frank) while he was serving in Afghanistan
2006, and I did receive many letters after his death in the
mail. I feel that I am no longer lost; however, there was a
time that I did after having to deal with such issues as media
and military policy changes that affected so many military families.
While fighting for our fellow comrades when I felt sure my world
would fall apart. I have tried to soldier on... and chose to
continue to serve our country. When in harms way, it is individuals
like yourself who bring the much needed hope and strength through
your gifts of talent - your music can reach and help so many.
I pray that you never lose your compassion. Thanks for remembering
our troops, the ones we lost and the injured.

Hi George,
Just wanted to say congrats on being number 1 song for this
week on CMT. Your video Ring of Fire is great, and can't wait
to see Seven Spanish Angels. I keep checking your tour schedule
to see when you are coming to Alberta again, mainly Edmonton
or Camrose. The Big Valley Jamboree is coming in August, and
I hope you will be there again this year. You were great last
year, even if it was raining. Hoping your Christmas was great
with Jen and the kids, and you got to relax a little.

to say I loved your concert at the Rebecca Cohn in Halifax Nov
3 2007. That was my first ever concert. Your song I want you

are the greatest East Coast singer around. Thanks for entertaining

me from Annapolis Royal on the 17th of November-I sang with
you and you signed my guitar!!!! That was the best thing that
ever happend to me in my life!!!!!!! I play that guitar every
day. Man that was awsome. My mom has pictures of me and you
on stage everywhere at our house!!!!!! I just wish it could
happen again sometime. My mom says that I should be a singer

Hi,
George. I wanted to tell you for a long time what your song
I want you to live means to me. I am proud to say that I am
a Soldiers wife. When my husband was getting ready to go to
Afghanistan this song was shortly released. We had a conversation
about what he wanted me to do if he did not come home. He said
he wanted me to raise our son well, to fall in love again, to
never forget the time we had together and to have my son not
forget him. My husband did make it home but 7 of his Brothers
did not. You must know that your song depicted the message that
I think every Soldier ever deployed to Afghanistan or deployed
to a place of war had wanted their loved one to know. When I
would hear this song while my husband was away it reminded me
that he loved me and would keep on loving me even if he did
not make it home. I appreciate your support for our Troops.
On a happier note. I had met you in May 2004 at an outdoor concert
during Apple Blossom weekend in the valley. A group of us were
able to meet with you before the concert under a white tent.
You had told us you had just visited friends of yours named
Garth and Trisha and they told you some good news. We took a
couple pictures and you sign my baseball cap. I loved the concert.
Maybe you will remember me maybe not. Your an amazing Artists
and look forward to many more years of music.
Military Wife, Edmonton - 01/09/2008

I am a US.
Marine from Bakersfield California. I am writing you to say
how much the song I want you to live means to those of us who
have served and that have lost friends in the war on terror.
It is also a beautiful testament to those that are behind the
scenes. The wives, mothers, who with just one loss can completely
destroy a life. Its hard what we do. It most be impossible what
they go through. Thank George for me. God speed to any and all
in harms way......

your Classics CD for Xmas. It is super and almost better than
the original artists. And your voice is SOOOOO SEXY

Vera and
Joan form Port Coquitlam, BC wish to send George, Jennifer,
Kale, Madison and your mom a very Merry Christmas. We’ve
had a fabulous year and you have been a large part of it. From
the entertaining Caribbean cruise with Gord Bamford and Charlie
Major, to your shows in Langley and Chilliwack, BC plus our
trip down to Lynden, Washington at the state fair to wish you
a happy birthday. We’ve never had the chance to tell you
George why you are Vera’s guardian angel. This seems like
the perfect time. To make a long story short, a few days before
we were to leave for the cruise to see you, Vera was driving
down the road unaware that her car trunk was on fire. She made
it home safely, my brother put the fire out, but the eerie thing
was, the song she was listening to on the radio was your “I
Want You To Live”. I guess it has a special meaning for
everyone in one way or another. Thank you. We’ve enjoyed
your Classics CD (waiting for #2) and your Christmas specials,
including Dave Gunning’s “daddy’s beer”.
From the first time we heard it on one of your Christmas tours
we knew it would be a hit. Congratulations on your recent award
nominations and have a Happy New Year. God Bless.
Joan and
Vera from Port Coquitlam, BC - 12/24/2007

Your Christmas
special was an incredible hour of unbelieveable music. It is
the best Christmas special of 2007. Your song "I want you
to live" just gave me very weepy and I am sure it means
alot to all our service men and women. Thank you for supporting
our men and women. To you and yours, Merry Christmas and a wonderful
New Year. Keep the great music coming.

Hey George…I
don’t' know if you really read these…but if you
do, I just wanted to tell you that you are an amazing artist
and you are one of the main reasons I love country music so
much! Because I am an inspiring country artist myself and am
looking for any kind of help to make it to where I want to be…
I was going to go on Nashville Star but it wasn't on for some
reason this year. So if you can give me any advice or help in
any way…Please e-mail me at tyson_hanes30@hotmail.com.
Thank You so much!

Loved the
Christmas special on Dec. 19th. The song Daddy's Beer was fabulous.
My husband wasn't home, and as much as I could tell him about
it, he wants to hear it. Will it be on a CD soon? Merry Christmas!

What an
outstanding show we were able to watch last night from the Banff
Hotel. You and your guests were a credit to the Canadian musicians.
Hoping that you put the show on a CD . It was so good to see
Dave on the show with you. May you all enjoy the holiday season
with your families and all the best for your work coming up
in 2008. Hoping to see you again in Alberta.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL.
Marg - 12/20/2007

I
got home tonight just to hear Dave’s “Daddy’s
Beer” and coldn’t go to bed without hearing the
rest. Is there a chance you will release a CD of the show? The
songs were amazing and such a great variety. Keep up the great
work – you are the only artist that my 4 year old son
can name in less then one verse and boy is he excited to hear
your voice. Also as a military wife I want to thank you so much
for your attention and respect for our hard working troops.
I only wish more public figures were so vocally supportive of
the job the brave men and women do both here and overseas. Come
back to Red Deer soon. Thanks and keep the music coming.

George,
I really enjoyed that Christmas special from Banff. It is great
you're having some up and comers on. Hey, I MCd the Big Rock
Singers Concert in Okotoks a week or so ago and the biggest
laugh I got was when I tried to convince the audience that I
was the MC because I won a popularity contest against you. Well,
I guess it was more of a moan than a laugh. Wishing you and
yours a Merry Christmas and may the Good Lord look out for you
when you're on the trail. That goes for you too, Wendy.

Hello
George, I just finished watching your christmas special,both
my husband and I thought it has to be one of the best
we have seen in years. The guest list was very impressive to
say the least, the songs they choose to sing where sang with
such feeling that one connected instantly with them. I have
a great love of the power of the human voice and must congratulate
you George,Johnny Reid, Jully Black, Andrea Menard, Tyler Connolly,Dave
Gunning and the fabulous musicians that played with you all
on an outstanding evening of entertainment that was obviously
so heart felt .I hope that the CBC continues to bring this calibre
of entertainment in the future as it was a world class performance.
Thank you once again and I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Dear George:
Your new CD "Classics" is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I have
attented several of your concerts and they were the best performances
that I have ever seen. You are truly an amazing man and show
great compassion for everyone no matter who they are. You also
have great respect for your wife and children and must hate
to have to be away from them for an extended period of time
when you are on tour. I have followed you since your first appearance
on Nashville Star and you definitely should have won. Keep those
hits coming and all the best to you, your family, your band
and management etc.over the Christmas Season and looking forward
to seeing you in 2008!!!!!

Hi George:
I wanted to let you know that you made my kids day when you
signed their guitar, and pictures of you, when you were in Spruce
Grove, AB.? They cannot stop talking about you, it really made
their day.? They were very surprised this weekend when we opened
up our local paper and saw their pictures with you.
Thanks,

Good
Monday Morning, George; We just wanted to let you know that
last evening we watched you on the China Hand in Hand Special
and WOW, what a FANTASTIC job you did singing in Chinese!!!!
We all agreed that a Country Singer from Pictou County, over
in China singing in their language sure does make us very proud!!!!!
You are definately a NOVA SCOTIAN GEM!!!!!!! Take care and HAPPY
HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL!

Hi
George: I live in P.E.I. and have been to many of your performances.
I loved every one of them. I think you are a wonderful performer.
Alot of your songs have special memories in them, andmeaning
to them. I don't think that there is a song that I don't enjoy
listing to. My Mom who is 73 enjoys your music also. I started
to watch Nashville Star when you were in the top 5. And us Mairtimers
are very pround of you.So keep up the good work. Looking forward
to when you come back to P.E.I. May you and your family and
band membersand staff all have a great Holiday.
Lori Huestis, Charlottetown, P.E.I. - 12/10/2007

We
would like to thank you, you made our stay at the IWK a little
bit brighter with your music and smiles. My son is still yelling
yee-ha cowboy everytime he see your picture. He also has told
anyone who would listen about trying to play your guitare.
Thanks -Garret and Alison, GB, NS - 12/09/2007

Hi
George, First let me say that since I first saw you on Nashville
Star I have been a fan. I still think you should have won, oh
well I hear more from you than the winner. I could be a bit
bias being a proud Canadian and all lol. This letter is a bit
late in coming but better late than never. I have listened to
and watched alot of your videos since first see you and have
really enjoy all of them. I am also really touched by the amount
of support you give to the Canadian Forces and our families.
I returned home from Afghanistan in Aug. myself. I am a member
of the Second Batallion Royal Canadian Regiment India Company
as well as in the First Batallion. A friend of mine e-mailed
me your video '' I want you to live '' and I have thought about
it quite often over the last few months. I have alot of friends
on memorial plaques over there now and feel for their families.
You have said in your song '' I want you to live '' what everyone
of us that lives '' out side the wire '' wants for our families
and friends. I think it goes without saying that you moved me
to tears with that song (and still does) and when I watched
it for the first time I think I needed the emotional release
it gave me. Thank you. Keep up the great job.

HI
George, It’s been a month since you were here in NL however
there’s hardly a day I don’t think about your show
in St. Johns and smile. What a wonderful show it was and perfectly
names as well *kitchen party*. What a lasting impression you
have made. Firstly, I want to admit I never recognized your
name way back in Oct when we were invited to the meet and greet.
I would like to thank you on behalf of myself and and my son
Christien whom you met that day. I have a confession. I recorded
a whole 2 second video of him performing with you that night.
2 seconds Im not kidding of course I couldn’t wait to
review my entire video. Much to my dismay, Serves me right for
ignoring the sign that says NO VIDEO. Christien and I have bragging
rights now for a very very long time. Without video though.
George, on a more serious note. I hope you know how meaningful
it is to type 1 diabetics to meet and talk about a disease you
share with them. I’m sure you know they sometimes feel
they are all alone in their condition. It's great to see celebrities
like yourself bring such positive attention to a not so dreadful
disease. You were right, though the pump is life changing. As
you know Christien started on the Animas pump days after that
concert. I can tell you its better than I could of ever expected
. We’ve seen consistent glucose reads under 10 that we
have never had the luxury of having before. Finally we are able
to sleep through 3am checks and what’s very important
is Christien has the freedom to make choices that most children
take for granted. I really wanted Christien to write this letter
or add to it *sighs* but his social life has just taken off
and he keeps putting it off. So from a grateful mother for her
very grateful son THANK YOU.
Rita &
Christien Barron, Clarenville , NL - 12/04/2007

Wishing Wendy, George the Band and all the background staff

Canada tour you took this fall. Wishing you well on your challenges
for the upcoming year. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.

Good morning
Sir. I guess this is a little long overdue, considering it was
a year and a half ago I attended your concert held in Fort McMurray,
AB. The concert was amazing, and you seem to be an outright
down to earth kinda guy. Not that you’d remember me, but
my husband and I stayed back after the concert because he wanted
his guitar signed, and I was VERY pregnant at the time. By looking
at me, you told me I was having a boy, and to let you know if
you were right. Well, you were. I had a very BIG boy on Sept.
17th 2006, 10lbs 110z and very heathly. He is now 14 months
old, and terrorizing everything, but still the biggest joy in
my life, especially when I get that glowing smile first thing
on a morning. I hope to see you in Fort McMurray again. Take
Care and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Hey
George, it's Brooke who tried singing with you in the audience,
when you came to Nanaimo. My best friend Kaylea was there with
me & we had the matching white cowgirl hats on. I have my
autographed picture of you on my night table by my bed in a
pink picture frame. Sorry I couldn't find anything else to put
your picture in but I didn't think you would mind. I just wanted
to tell you that we really enjoyed your concert and it's kool
that my picture is on your website. I know all the words to
all your songs but I had never heard of burning ring of fire
before so I didn't know the words but I have your cd & know
all the words now. My cousins go to Nova Scotia every year because
that's where my Aunt is from and I was thinking that if I could
go with them I might see you there?. Well bye from Brooke. ps.
I am going to be a famous country singer one day just like you
& Taylor Swift. I took singing lessons & was in Nanaimo
Idol. Just wanted to tell you that.

Good
Tuesday Morning, George; Well, we attended your show in Truro
last night and My, What an Honor it was to see you and your
band in person! I was simply amazed, and I know my husband and
son were too!!!!! Our son was the little boy (Sean) whom you
first picked to sing Ring of Fire with you, but he refused!!
He felt bad about that, but is also a little shy!!!!!!! It really
made him feel very special!!! Thank You so Very, Very Much!!
As I had stated in an earlier entry back in August, we usually
don't do very much together as a family, but you are definately
on the top of our list and please, please try to make it back
to Truro again sometime; We'd be honored to
spend another evening at one of your concerts!!! I had bought
Sean one of your Classics T-shirts from the concert and he had
to make sure he wore it to school today to show off that he
had seen you in person!!!! He is very proud of that fact!!!!!
I know you must be extremely tired and will be glad when your
last 2 shows in Pictou are over tomorrow evening!!!!! Please
have a safe journey back to Jen and your kids and Have a Very
Blessed Christmas Season!!! As I said after you had signed Sean's
little book last evening, WE LOVE YOU!!!! TAKE CARE AND GOD
BLESS!!!!!!!!

Just a little
note to let you know that I took in your show in Annapolis Royal
on Saturday evening and had a fabulous time. So sorry for all
of the camera flashes but I was front row with my Mom and that
type of thing does not happen every day!!!! The band was fabulous,
very entertaining to say the least!!! My three year old son
Christian loves his pic that you signed for him and we had to
rush out on Sunday and get you a frame for his room, we have
placed it next to the photo we got signed in Yarmouth. I cannot
wait until he gets to see you perform!! Merry Christmas to all
of you and we send you wishes for a very Happy New Year. Cheers
until the next show!

Good
Morning George and The Prisoners, I attended your Chilliwack
concert and “wow”, what an amazing show. I have
never sent in comments or written on a website for a performer
before however, I felt the need to do so after last night. I
wanted to thank you in person while getting your autograph however,
could not choke out the words. “Thank you” so much
for your support of our troops and your amazing song “I
want you to live”. My family is currently living with
this reality, as my husband is currently preparing to deploy
in the New Year. Being away from his children for this extended
period of time will be difficult however, his commitment to
his country and the military is admirable. Your support of the
troops and their families is appreciated and will not be forgotten.
Thank you.

My daughter
is a diabetic and has been for 13 years. She has been on a pump
for 4 years. We went to a meet and greet with George in Annapolis
Royal on Saturday Nov 17. He talked about his diabetes and some
of the problems he has had to deal with growing up with diabetes,
and everything he said we have experienced with our daughter.
She is 15 now and is in good control of her diabetes. It is
just wonderful for our daughter to hear an adult, who has done
something amazing with his life, talk about something she has
had to deal with all her life, and for her to realize that even
though you have a health problem it should not hold you back
from doing what ever you want to do in life. George is an amazing
singer and a wonderful person. Just meeting him the once and
only hearing him talk for such a short time, it was not hard
to tell he cares about people and loves what he does. He is
very passionate about helping all people and hopes they learn
from his experience. I also saw him in concert the same night
and what a performance. He truly is an amazing man. Thank you
George for coming to Annapolis Royal.

I went to
see George and his prisoners last night in Liverpool, NS and
it was awesome! I heard he wasn’t feeling 100% and still
put on a great show. His band is full of talent and they all
have a great sense of humor which made for an entertaining show.
He was amazing in Moncton and again last night! I would love
to meet him sometime; I hope he comes back real soon. Love you
George!

was so nice to hear the songs we grew up with and also your
own songs.The band is also super and just the whole performance.
Keep up the good work and don't change from being what you are.
Hope there will be another show in the not too distant future
in this area. God speed.

hello
george and his prisoners. just seen your show in guysborough,
nova scotia and just had to let you know how much my mom and
i enjoyed it. mom is 73 and has been such a huge fan since nashville
star that we always make sure she gets to any concerts you have
anywhere close to us. this was her fourth and of course we enjoy
the concerts almost as much as her.to hear her hooting and laughing
at you all makes you even more special to us. she got quite
a kick out of the holes in your jeans tonight. i think she was
going to offer to patch them for you. your band was wonderful
and i hope they're having as much fun as they seem to be having.
i'm sure you have them all tucked in by now. anyway i wanted
to wish you safe travels and much happiness in your career.
its always great to hear you talk of jen and the kids and i
hope your travelling never gets in the way of your family. it
must be hard to be away from them for such long trips. its great
to be able to see you in concert but its much more important
to us that you're happy. by the way, just what was it you were
all kicking around the stage tonight (monday)?? you all looked
like you were genuinely having fun. i also must mention how
touching it is to see you remove your hat at the end of your
shows. your family must be so proud of you and i'm sure your
dad is smiling down on you and keeping you safe. our dad is
enjoying the concerts from up there too. keep smiling, my friend;
lord knows you've made many people smile in the past number
of years. we'll see you at the next concert god-willing. take
care!!!

"Kitchen
Party" was amazing. Went to the show in Kelowna and it
was one of the coolest shows I've ever been too. Came home and
raved about it to my husband; how he shoulda been there as it
was just that, like hangin out with a bunch of friends, initmate
and relaxed. The album is on my wish list as December is both
birthday and Christmas. Hope you'll come back and see us soon!
Be safe and wishing you all a warm and safe holiday season.
Hope you will be home with your families' for Christmas!

Hi George,
What a great concert (kitchen party) you guys put on last night.
My husband and I along with my brother and his girlfriend thoroughly
enjoyed every minute of the show. I was hoping to see Bubbles
come out and sing Drinkin' Thinkin' with you just like the video.
I regret not having the funds to purchase your album last night
so that I could get a signed copy. Maybe next time! Can't wait
till you come back!
Jean - 11/07/02007

George,
Thank you for putting out your latest album, 'Classics'. Ever
since I first saw you do 'Ring of Fire' on Nashville Star, I've
wanted to hear you do the whole song and it was worth the wait.
Seven Spanish Angels has to be one of my most favorite songs
and I didn't think anyone could sing it better than Ray &
Willie but I was oh so very wrong. By the time the song was
over, I was in tears. And the rest of the songs are just as
amazing. Johnny, Ray and Waylon have to be looking down on you
with huge smiles for the way you perform their music. Thank
you again and keep the music flowing.
Jim - 11/07/2007

Hello….
I just watched your video of Ring of Fire. I’m very proud
to have seen my niece, Cachet, in your video. George, I truly
enjoyed the song and your singing. I remember my father playing
this song, over and over again, on our record player when I
was a little girl. It brought back some very happy memories.
Thank you George. Also, thank you for having Cachet in your
video…it is truly an honour. Kindest wishes.

Hi... now
that the storm is over and power has been restored in Halifax,
I would like to thank George and his band for a wonderful evening
at the Cohn. I would like especially like to thank George for
making my granddaughter Skylar feel so special, she is still
taking about being on stage and singing "Ring of Fire"
with her country idol, a memory that will last a lifetime. We

Hi George
and Wendy, Just returned from your Fredericton concert and it
sure lived up to the Down Home Kitchen Party. As usual you did
a great job entertaining both musically and with humour that
made us all feel part of the party. My wife and I took our grand
daughter Faith whose four and a half years old with us and she
was shy and didn't make the stage. We have taken her to she
your Christmas Show at the Playhouse, Country Rocks The Hill
06, The Aitkin Centre last year and the show tonight. She thoroughly
enjoyed the show as did my wife and I. Thank you so much for
signing her guitar. We have all your Cds. Faith always recognizes
you when she hears your songs on Country KHJ. Thanks again for
a great show!

Awesome
show in Bristol, NB last night... Glad I was a part of it...
Your band does an awesome job not only musically but also entertaining
the crowd with you, it is not often that you see the singer
and the band with such a close personal friendship. The show
was indeed like one BIG KITCHEN PARTY as you said... The Goose's
coiffe hairdo was totally awesome.... Thank you for taking time
to meet with your many fans and thanks for signing my insulin
pump, it means the world to me..

I am still
in awe of the Moncton Show. I am embarrassed to say I missed
the other shows you did at Magnetic Hill...you are such an fantastic
entertainer and the intimate surroundings of the Capitol Theatre
made for an amazing show...your band is equally amazing...I
have no regrets and love the new CD...please come back to Moncton
soon!!

Wow George,
the concert last night at the Capitol Theatre was amazing; it
was the best concert that I’ve ever been to! And I was
at the meet and greet for diabetes, you did a very good job
with that, the way you explained diabetes was amazing, you said
things that I didn’t know ( I still can’t believe
how small the needle was ! way smaller then mine.) Well, I hope
that you’ll be coming back to Moncton soon, I’ll
definitely be there. And I’d really like to thank you
for signing my guitar, I can’t thank you enough, it means
a lot to me.

Dear
George, We saw you last night at the Capitol Theatre and WOW
I don't think anyone was disappointed at all. We picked up your
new CD as well as your Christmas CD. I was so happy that you
have 7 Spanish Angels on your CD!!!!!! That is my all time favourite
song, I remember when you sang it on Nashville Star and I broke
down crying! And last night George you did it to me again! We
will play the CD over and over again, along with Rick Tippe's
CD. Love & Warm Wishes to you & your wonderful band,
say Hi to them for us.

Just got
back from the Moncton show and as usual it was amazing. George
and the band not only sang their songs, they entertained the
crowd. I for one, loved it. Those classics really took me back
in time and down memory lane. Thank you so much for keeping
Moncton on your list of places to perform.

My 13-year
old daughter and I attended the concert in St. John's NL last
time and enjoyed it tremendously...one of the best concerts
I've ever seen. George's beautiful voice is one of a kind, and
he and the band provided great entertainment. Excellent time.
Can't wait until the next tour.

Hey George,
You should really add another show in Annapolis Royal. Everyone
down here loves you and wants to see you. It's not often when
someone as big as you comes here and people just flock to see
you. So please consider a second show. Thanks.

To George
& "the Prisoners of the Evil Monkey"... Your show
in Gander last night was refreshing, uplifting and awesome -
thanks so much to you and the Boys for sharing your musical
Gifts with us - the audience. You are welcome back to our little
Town anytime. Last night was as wonderful and as magical as
our trip to the Grand Ole Opry Four years ago - our hats are

George,
Changed my travel plans across Newfoundland to Corner Brook
tonight. Stopped in Gander to attend your show…awesome!
What an opportunity to see you in a small venue within a great
crowd. Beside your great music and singing I truly enjoyed your
closeness to the audience. Thank you for a great evening!

Hi George,
I was able to get a ticket to your concert in Labrador City
on Oct. 24th. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate
that you took the time to come to our small town. The concert
had a very intimate setting and I have to say that your voice
is even better live! You seem like a very down to earth person
and you and your band members made it a lot of fun! Thank you
for the opportunity to sponsor a little girl from Thailand.
It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
Keep up the great work. I hope to see you here again someday!

Hey George
I met you at the ’06 Stan Rogers Festival and spoke to
you for a few minutes. Can’t wait to see your show in
Stephenville, NL tonight. Wish I had tickets to see your show
in Corner Brook on Saturday night. Keep up the good work and

Hello George,
My husband and I went to see you in Labrador City and we could
not believe you would come to a small like this to perform.
We enjoy you music all the time and the show you and your band
put off was amazing. The next day we also decided to sponsor
a young girl through World Vision from Bolivia. It is something
we had talked about doing before and just kept putting it off.
Hearing you explain when your wife and yourself seen first hand
where the money goes we feel honored to be able to help a child.
Thank You for the wonderful night and keep up the good work
spreading the word for World Vision.

You are a great intertainer. I am still in awe that you would

Caught your
act in Belleville in October. I’ve seen you in Belleville
before with Gord Bamford and really enjoyed the show. I’ll
be honest, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as I
did. You are an entertainer at heart. I told my parents how
much I enjoyed your concert and got them t
