I think you misunderstood my point. Almost everybody retires eventually and usually people announce their own retirement. It's natural that most people will at some point decide to call it a day. True, we would miss Alvin, but life would go on, and as long as he is happy, I'll be happy for him when and if that day comes.

However, some people need to jump the gun and make these types of statements, best left to the individuals concerned, to make themselves seem important.

By the way, Les, I have seen Alvin many, many, times - I know what I'd be missing - heck, I am missing him - and missing him badly.

I'm from Brett Favre country. I've heard more BS about retirement than I care to remember! If Alvin retires from performing I'm sure we'll here it from him and not some second hand "i heard it from a source that Alvin's done" report. It really doesn't make sense that he would retire from performing if he's got an album coming out in August.(which I'm looking forward to purchasing) If he does, that's up to him. He's paid his dues. I don't think he's playing the States again and unless a money bomb explodes in my front yard I wont be seeing him across the pond. So the best thing I could hope for is a DVD....(hint, hint)
