Roger Hodgson ~ Archeo Jazz Festival ~ Blainville Crevon, France


Hi, Roger. The first time I met you, I had been a fan for many years... It was in 1981, at Parc de Sceaux, in the city os Sceaux, southwards from Paris.

We discovered, prior to the Supertramp show, someone by the name of Chris de Burgh... I was here, yesterday evening, in Blainville Crevon, Normandy, France. I only wanted to thank for this magnificent, awesome concert you offered to us.

I also wanted to thank you as you did, several time, a very well appreciated effort ; you mainly tried - and absolutely well succeeded in - to interact and communicate with us in our mother's language, which is far from being easy to manage. I wanted to to apologize, Roger. I did it so fine. For so many many years, I've never let Supertramp songs in silence and often listened them, several times a month...

It was so amazing to see and listen to you again, here, signing so brightly, always smiling, like these people who knows where happy exactly is. It looks as if time had no influence upon you, and upon your songs... which lyrics have, according to me, the same value and accuracy they had the first time I heard them, all along the existence of Supertramp.

As a musician - guitarist, saxophonist, mainly from classical and Jazz culture - I did appreciate all these awesome young people around you. The rhythm section was so right in place, the keyboard player so good and touchy, the amazing multiple instrument player - having a so surprising voice - they all supported you so fine that I met the greatest emotions of these last months. Wave them a great hello for me.

Your last albums are so welcome, too.

Roger Hodgson ~ Archeo Jazz Festival ~ Blainville Crevon, FranceRoger ; I do think your walk on the right way. It's absolutely clear to me you've been soon awakened to one of the clearest and simplest principle to adore life as it seems to me you do ; happiness is not the aim of the road. Happiness is the road you're walking on, and the best moment takes place each time your foots leads you forward, and fingers run on a keyboard or guitar... It clearly - brightly - suits you.

Nothing is at random on this Earth. You know this.

Thank you Roger to be who you actually are, instead of being so many others certainly wished you to be... so far from yourself.

This concert was a great moment.

If it happens you come back in Normandie, don't hesitate to contact. I'll be happy to share some good things and topics with you.

Take care. Cheers. Olivier.

Hello Roger, Thank you for the wonderful concert you gave at Blainville Crevon on Wednesday. It was incredible : I cried, laughed, danced and loved every single moment of it. You were so nice to us members of the French Fan club, I felt like that big tent in the middle of the country was my new home for a moment.

Sadly, I learnt while on my way back from Normandy today that one of my teachers, who was an incredible woman and just like a friend to me, had passed away in the morning. The pain is unlike anything I've experienced before. It's heartbreaking, overwhelming, unexpected and I still can't believe someone I felt so close to is now gone.

A lot of the strength I'm trying to get in order to cope comes from the memories of the night I spent at the festival on Wednesday. I listen to Lord is it Mine or Death and a Zoo and try to let the lyrics carry the pain away. I don't know what I could hold on to if I didn't have your songs. Thank you so much. Thank you to the whole band for the wonderful atmosphere they bring to these concerts. You are great. ~ Lucie

Roger Hodgson ~ Archeo Jazz Festival ~ Blainville Crevon, FranceThank you Roger for three wonderful shows ( in Paris Olympia hall, In Liège, and Blainville Crevon ) each show was different and all of them were more than great.

Brilliant performance, incredible ambiance, dream set lists, dynamic and excellent band which plays with joy, it was again like if the family was reunited for the unforgettable moments which stay engraved in every heart.

I understood those days, what really makes your "exception" among all legends on stage and I feel very blessed to have received so much of happiness and inner peace. Yes Roger, this is the way I want to follow definitely ....:)

Thank you especially for Rudy and Patricia. To be right, I didn't expect you would read this demand at time and was as touched you did it and chose Babaji, as my friends were touched. I didn't know, it was their favorite song. Incredible. I was speechless when they told me it, with their happy face.

Wish you Roger to share still so much of happiness and to spread love everywhere where you will perform and and can't wait to see you again, singing and smiling.. even though abroad...... Sending you warm greetings filled by recognition, love and hapiness as well as to Linda and Shakti. Thank you for everything ~ Mila
