As I said last week, the DJs here are my friends & they happily announced my plan to the listeners to get the audience to sing HB on my cue, which would be after 'Jealous Guy'.

Before the show, I purchased some HB balloons & handed them out to people in the lobby that I would think would blow them up & chuck them towards the stage. All were enthusiastic & were all for it.

The cue when to launch them would be after 'Let's Stick Together' when the crowd would be on their feet & rockin'!

Since I gave my song to Jorja before the show, I placed my birthday card with a large green ribbon on the stage so Bryan could see it throughout the show. In the card, I told him about Gloria & how I began to learn how to sing listening to the Siren album, which was the first I heard of RM.

After the balloons were bouncing all over, of which many landed on the stage during LST, Bryan gave one a kick! A blue one that he took to his room and photos of it from backstage (his Facebook page).

There you have it. My plan was a success!

This photo is of Bryan holding a B-Day card in his room (mine is the purple one beneath the one he's holding - https://www.facebook.com/bryanferry/photos/pcb.10152314473407212/10152314472532212/?type=1&theater

This one you saw before with a balloon in the air & Bryan's card on the stage - https://www.facebook.com/bryanferry/photos/pcb.10152314473407212/10152314472557212/?type=1&theater
