The event was billed as a Simon Estes concert. Yet, he was only there a few moments and only sang three songs. My mother died at Mercy Hospice, and I wanted so bad just to cry along. Songs often move me to tears, but when I hear his voice I just melt. The choir and the other singers were outstanding, but I wanted to hear Simon more. I had not seen the program beforehand so I didn't know when Simon would be appearing. The program should have been advertised differently as Simon and Friends or something similar. I am grateful, however, to hear him even for a few moments. I am not an opera fan, but his voice is God-given to touch the souls of hurting people like myself. God Bless you Simon! I will see you again!.
