I never expect to record anything at a show, its usually not allowed, and it detracts from my enjoyment of the performance, but sometimes I can't help myself and record one for the forum because I know you all miss Hayley when she's elsewhere in the world!.........TimJ

I totally understand, Tim. Filming usually detracts a lot so I'm even more grateful that you recorded a song for us (particularly Mummer's Dance, you picked the right one! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif).

Hi Tim!

Thank you so much for filming a video of that great song ... one of my favorites.

Unfortuneately, like Dori, I also have problems to play it. Music works but no picture.
I try again another time. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Hey Hayley,
Great show at Ulysses! I think that everyone there had a blast! I sure did! I would have loved to back you up on my guitar, but I couldn't seem to locate it at the time. I know that your time is scarce, but perhaps you might enjoy doing one or two of these small venues each year....preferably in New York or Philadelphia......
All my best for continued success and good health,
Gene

To all: great comments and reviews on Hayley's show at Ulysses! Thanks to everyone for the very enjoyable reading and the fantastic pictures of the event. Here are a couple of additional pics of Hayley as she spent time with her fans after the performance. I never left Ulysses when the show ended. I'm still here, at the bar, waiting for Hayley to come back from Magnitogorsk to do an encore. My bar stool stopped being comfortable 3 weeks ago. My butt is simply going to have to put up with the bruising. Thank goodness that the bar is only an arm's length away.
Regards to all.

Thanks for the great photo's Gene.

It sounds as if this was a fantastic event, I like your avatar pic with Hayley, something to remember the day by for years to come. If I am not mistaken the photograph being held on the left of the first picture is of our Tashi and Hayley? does anyone else recognise it?

Hi Gene,
Thank you so much for those 2 extra fotos...beautiful.
Wish I could join you at the bar...worth waiting, isn't it ??
Love, Marianne

Hi Steve,

Yes, that is Tashi with Hayley in the photograph, and I think the hand in which it is held belongs to one of our forum members!

Superb pictures Gene. Thank you for your contribution.

Hello Steve!

I recognise the photograph of Tashi and Hayley too, and I've found it on the HWI main site. It's a large file, so click on the image to see the full-size version.



The photograph was taken at Bryant Park, New York in July 2004 by Steven (Fusilier), and it's the bottom picture HERE.

Best Wishes,

Richard

No, it's the phantom of the opera. Of course it's me holding that photo. I had meant to give it to Tashi waaaaaaaaaay back in 2005 at Easton, but owing to the vile weather and carrying too much other junk, I forgot. Still, I'd promised myself to get it to her, signed, eventually, and a promise made is a debt unpaid.

It has reached its destination now, and that is that.

Lol. Yes THANK YOU sooooooooooooo much! I got both the picture and also a copy of Hayley's great new album a while back from Steven!! I was very excited about it, and even managed to convince Crystal to let me play it on the main sound system instead of Kathleen Battle - a triumph I must say! And a much needed relief to my ears as well!!

Hey Marianne,
Yes, I've been planted on this bar stool for almost 4 weeks now. 3,297 drinks so far. 258 trips to the rest room. Food is gotten by playing and singing on the Ulysses stage. The audience throws all types of food at me when I do that. A lot of it very tasty, although very difficult to clean off of my face. On your question....yes, the long wait, the hurried trips to the rest room, the sore butt and all of the interesting food that I've been catching on the stage has all been worth it! Some day, some time, some century, here in the Milky Way Galaxy, Hayley will return to Ulysses and I WILL BE HERE! The manager has offered to gold-plate my bar stool. I've accepted. Please join me when you can, but let me know ahead of time. I don't want to be on the stage when you enter the room, because you just may be hit with a tomato projectile.....best regards and love right back to you, Gene.......

Hey Tashi,
I think that it's pretty neat how my simple posting of a photograph taken at Ulysses has generated so much correspondence, here and on the Official Hayley Bulletin Board. Obviously, I'm referring to the pic with Hayley and Yourself. I'm glad that I was there at the right time. The next time you're in Ulysses, look me up at the bar. I'll be the one sitting on the gold-plated bar stool, looking somewhat spent...... Regards, Gene........

You are most welcome, Steve and Peter. It was obviously, a lot of fun for me! Regards, Gene

Hi Gene,
I'll be arriving at the bar on the weekend after I have hugged all my family in Hamburg, Germany. Can't wait to join you on the stage...mind you they will cheer once they see your support act !
Money is no object, so we'll dine out in style !
Time is no object either so we'll just sit and keep on waiting while we muse about Hayley. That should easily keep us entertained until the end of the year or until Hayley takes pity on us and gathers us up.
She will be delighted to give up a week of her precious time to make up for our loyalty to her. She will also congratulate us on the countless number of new fans we have collected around the bar.
Hang in there Gene !
Love, Marianne
