Mrs. Cider and I heard him in '92 in Roanoke. His "Hello Again" is our song.

Maybe I've heard wrong, but I've read that his voice is pretty shot now. My best friends dad made us listen to Neil Diamond all the time at his house (I swear that he had EVERYTHING the guy ever recorded). We actually fell in love with his music, and always find ways of using lines from his songs in conversation. I wouldn't mind seeing him live, but would not like to see him if his voice is shot.

Congrats!! Let me know how he sounds live. Perhaps I'll look and see if he is going to be near me anytime in the future!

There are two types of people in this world: those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't. I actually thought about seeing him in C'ville until I found out I have to work that night.

I believe that's a quote from What About Bob?
