TO ALL MY FRIENDS;        
I'M WRITING YOU THIS LETTER BECAUSE I FEEL YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME AND THE CHRISTMAS SHOW THAT I HOLD SO DEAR TO MY HEART...         
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE ANNUAL CHRISTMAS SHOW LIKE  I USED TO LOOK FORWARD TO GOING TO MY GRANDPARENTS HOME TO WAIT FOR SANTA CLAUS WHEN I WAS A LITTLE BOY WITH MY SISTER LOUISE...       IT WAS MORE THAN SANTA CLAUS AND SNOW...IT WAS A TEMPORARY ESCAPE FROM THE VIOLENCE AND ANGER THAT EXISTED IN MY HOME FROM A STEP FATHER WHO WAS OUT OF CONTROL...AND COMING TO SYRACUSE FOR THE ANNUAL SHOW IS THAT SAME FEELING OF JOY THAT I FELT BACK THEN...       
RECENTLY MY HEALTH HAS TAKEN A TOLL ON ME AND I FEEL THE CLOCK TICKING WITH REGARD TO MY PERFORMING LIVE AND FRANKLY IT SCARES THE HELL OUTTA ME...YOU KNOW ME...YOU KNOW I'LL SING TIL THEY PULL THE MIKE FROM MY HAND...
THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF RUMORS ABOUT THIS PALACE SHOW AND THE EAT AND GREET...FOR REASONS I DON'T UNDERSTAND PEOPLE ARE SAYING THINGS THAT AREN'T TRUE AND TRYING TO TAINT THE EVENT... THIS SHOW IS BEING PRODUCED BY ME AND PEOPLE I ASKED TO HELP... I NO LONGER WANT TO HOPE THINGS GO WELL, I WANT TO KNOW THEY WILL, FOR YOU AND ME. 
IT HURTS ME TO THINK THAT MY FANS WOULD PUT UP WITH THIS KIND OF TREATMENT BECAUSE THIS IS'NT 'MY' CHRISTMAS SHOW...THIS IS 'OUR' CHRISTMAS SHOW..
I'M ASKING YOU TO TURN OUT IN NUMBERS TO BOTH AN EVENING TOGETHER FOR DINNER AND LAUGHTER...AND TO A SHOW UNLIKE I'VE EVER DONE....THE STORIES BEHIND THE SONGS (AND STORIES YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD, TRUST ME).....JOIN ME, WON'T YOU, FOR A NIGHT WE'LL NEVER FORGET..CLOSE TO HOME AT THE PALACE THEATER.
LOVE,
BENNY MARDONES

Hi Benny,

I am truly sorry to hear your health is declining. You have been in my prayers for years now and want you to know you will continue to be.

I think often of that phone call you made years ago to thank me for the letter about my sister, and just wanted you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Due to financial difficulties, we won't make your Dec. show; but I wish you a great show and a wonderful time with all your CNY fans.

Thank you for all the memories I have. Please take care of yourself.

Benny - Every Christmas I think of a song that you did but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It was a slightly different version of I Want it All but with a little bit of a Christmas twist added. I heard it played on the radio many times one year but have not heard it since. It was a beautiful song that I would love to hear again. Any idea where I can that song? Kind Regards, Sharon
