Hey guys,

 

I recently bought an item off of eBay titled, "A Special Radio Event - A Benefit For The TJ Martell Foundation." The special was very touching and truly showed off Celine's vocal abilities.

The reason I am posting this is not for collector's reasons. I created this thread for us to talk about the special itself, not the collectable value. I am wanting to know if there are any Forum members out there that actually heard this special air on the radio when it was first released. What was the promotion for it like? How did you guys feel when you heard it?

 

If you're someone who wasn't around when it aired, but eventually found it on eBay or somewhere and bought it what did you think of the special?

 

I thought Celine's live performance of "All By Myself" and "Love Can Move Mountains" were very cool. It was so heart-breaking hear Celine talk about Karine. She even started to get a little choked up! I also liked the Hershey Tastations commercials! So funny!

 

Discuss!

Do you know if this program may have been released to airlines?

 

I recall that sometime during the Falling Into You era, while flying (either United or American), I - completely by chance - tuned into a radio program with Celine. I definately remember hearing "If You Asked Me To." Perhaps this was the same program? If so, to answer your question, I still remember hearing this program, and I still recall that I was disappointed that I did not have a chance to hear the program in its entirety.

Sorry for not seeing it earlier. I put in "TJ Martell" in the search feature and for some reason nothing came up.
