Instead of sending the usual card and gift from myself this year, what i'd like to do is to include you all in that gift by sending a surprise bouquet of flowers and ? a bottle of wine to Tony at the Opry on his special day, from ALL of his fans on tonyvincentworld.com. It would be an amazing way of being with him on his birthday in some small way and showing our global unity and support for him. I'm waiting to hear back on whether this could be an onstage presentation to him. What are your thoughts on me doing this from us all? These are what i'm thinking as they contain his favourite flower: ing x **edit 12.07.07** In addition, rather than try to cram all our names (or our countries) onto the gift card, i'm thinking that on his birthday we start a thread, and all those who have shown their support for the flower giving on this forum put their individual wishes to him on there. i don't know that he would post a response message on here, but i'll send him the link so he can read and know who was involved with it. cool?

Only one small snag: You can't ship wine in or to the state of South Carolina. Came across this when considering Opening Night gift options.

I think it's a fabulous idea. It's incredibly generous of you to include all of us in the present giving. Maybe you can put the countries people come from on the card as well, if you have that info, as that would show the wide fanbase to all those delivering and handling. Although, that probably isn't an option if you're doing it via a company and dictating the note over the phone:-(
Are you buying the flowers via an international company or are you contacting a florist near to the Opry? I've had good value over the years from contacting the local florist and getting them to deliver. Fresher, more, better value for money.
Thank you again, Ingy, for such a wonderful and generous idea. I would love to be involved.
Kathy BTW, enquiring minds would love to know which one is his favourite flower.

Somewhere in my old email I have the number of a local florist in MB, if you need it.

(welcome to the forum btw!) . perhaps next year we'll plan it differently for those who want to make a monetary contribution towards a united gift. thanks also to everyone else who has offered. you all rock! and his favourite flower? ...... it's one of the one's in the bunch, silly ing x also...the wine idea may not be totally ditched...i'll keep you posted
