shame on me for not posting since feb. i have no excuse but message for now is short and simple. firstly, THANKYOU>THANKYOU and THANKYOU. we absolutely could not have done this without your help. you singlehandedly brought josh's music to millions of people. it's amazing but it is a reality. we are indebted to all of you in a bigger way than even most of you realize. it's SOOOOOOO hard to break a new artist and even harder when the music is outside of the box.its supposed to happen this way but hardly ever does. the chairman of warner's asked me the other day what i would have done if he had not put josh's album out. i told him i would have asked to get out of my contract. that's how much i believed this would work. secondly, i want to congratulate our J.G. on how brilliantly he has handled himself thru all of the craziness (with a lot of help from my old buddy B.A.) how about that pbs special--how about oh holy nite-- how about the world series--how about that duet with babs(with another great lyric from my wife!!) we're all looking forward to getting started on the next album in jan and want you to know that we pay attention to everything you talk about on the site--what you like musicially and what you don't like (i promised myself i wouldn't mention the re-mix but i just can't help myself!!!) wouldn't it be great if the grobanites helped pick the 12 xmas songs for a christmas c.d. (maybe 2004)--anyway, happy thanksgiving to all of you--i know it's going to be a good one in the groban house this year--i promise i won't wait 9 more months to post--see you soon--your grateful friend--david foster
