When I opened this I immediately thought of the following song. Maybe Jackie might consider it. seconded!

Many years ago, before I had discovered Jackie, I had been blessed to find the beauty of Sissel’s music. I often thought that no one could compare, until Ms Evancho came along. Let’s just say, both have given me hours of listening pleasure. I’ve never heard either of them give a bad performance. Wishing you all a happy holiday season in these trying times.

Wild (and free range grown) turkeys are known to be eaters of insects. ATTRACTING WILD TURKEYS
I come across lots of wild turkeys in Boston to Route 128/95 and to Route 495 (40 miles west of Boston) in Massachusetts when I am out doing my deliveries. I have a picture of a big male turkey on the streets in Allston (part of the city of Boston). Pretty amazing that a small wild turkey flock was living in the city of Boston in one of the public park areas!

Strange, that there are no family members on the photos.
Jacs wrote in the "Social Media" thread: " ... I notice her dad's Instagram Christmas post did not appear to be from their big house in Gibsonia ...". I guess, it is still the home in Gibsonia. The house is still listed in some real estate agencies. It seems not yet sold (usually - here in Austria - it's hard to sell a house during the winter time. We do it in spring or summer).

Jacs, the Instagram post was from their house in Gibsonia. The following picture is from the photo tour in the house, which johnnyb posted in the news thread. It is the same room.

I just figured out, that Mike's (old?) Twitter account is suspended. I did a search via Google for the Twitter account and found the following links, which clearly belongs to Mike.
I used hxxps instead of https so you can see the link.
hxxps://twitter.com/mevancho/status/163826672527876096
hxxps://twitter.com/mevancho/status/263801954235473921
If you follow this links above, you get the following message:
hxxps://twitter.com/mevancho/
If you key in the main account (as it was before), you get an account which is named Margo Evancho. I'm not very into Twitter, but do they give an account with the same name to another person? If an account is suspended, you can use it as another person? Is Margo Evancho like Mike Evancho? May be, somebody of you can give an answer.

The only two accounts that mevancho is following are in Florida. It must be someone else, perhaps a relative.

But Mike had the account hxxps://twitter.com/mevancho/ as you see in the post above. I sometimes looked at it and had the link in my link list. So it was active. What I don't understand, that Twitter gives an account to another person.

Someone on the Amazon proboard wrote that Jackie should be ashamed of herself for ignoring her fans this time of year. I'm of the opposite opinion. I admire her even more for it. Professionally, it may be a potentially fatal mistake. But for her personally, I think she's very likely taking care of the business that really counts and matters most to her. Profession comes in second to her devotion to her family. This has probably been the worst, most tumultuous Christmas and New Years of her young life. Nothing merry or happy about either to share with her fans. Some years ago a young man and I sat across from each other, and he put a pistol on the table between us. He said, tell me why I shouldn't use that to kill myself tonight. I'd only met him once. First question that exploded into my mind was, why me? Why is this nearly complete stranger putting his life in my hands? I told him to give me a few minutes before answering him. The answer to my prayer came and it was a good one. It was another question. I asked him to tell me, what had happened to him over the last 6 months. Not a year. Not his life story. Just during those 6 months. The many serious, life changing events that had happened to him in that short time would have caused anybody to seriously consider taking their own life to escape the pain they'd caused. He was totally overwhelmed by them. Bottom line was a good one. Seeing and hearing an inventory of what was overwhelming him, he understood why he felt the way he did. He went to med school later that year and eventually became a doctor. He also met a young woman who he married. My point in telling this is not to concern anyone that Jackie could be suicidal. But the very serious events that have crowded her personal life within a very short time, I'm surmising, have overwhelmed and demanded her energy to a point that her professional life has necessarily become secondary to her. I am a member of a big family, and despite my advanced age, am still very involved with and attached to it in every way possible. Every family, including mine, that I've ever known or been acquainted with has been held together by some form of glue. Could be a mom or dad, or both, a grandparent, spiritual faith, one strong sibling leader, even a house full of memories or some serious family event that all rallied around and attached to. When the glue dissolves and disappears, a family has trouble staying together. Coping with that when it happens is very difficult and often traumatic. I don't know Jackie personally. I'm certain I never will. But she has connected with many of us, her fans, since day one by sharing her family with us. Bringing us into it via social media. Talking about it and her relationship to it during her concert interludes. It's been some of what's made her fan base so strongly supportive, loyal and devoted to her. I've never been a "fan" of any performer like I have Jackie. Others have said the same. The glue that binds many of us to her and her to us has been the love she's had for her family and in a similar sense for us, her fans. I think she's reflecting by her absence from us how troubling the changes to her family and her life in it have been for her. Personally and professionally there are major changes she's had to deal with, nearly all at once. Focus for her, I suspect, is to taking care of herself and the personal rather than professional side of her life for as long as it takes to get through the tumult and pain that usually comes with it.

This is OTT analysis...it's only been four weeks since she last posted. This has happened before..when Jackie was sick, or working on a secret project. We also know her family is in the mist of a divorce, they are selling their family house, and she has a new label and is likely working on that new album coming out in the Spring. For all we know, the girl has the flu or mabye even COVID, in which case she'd be quarantining from the family. Who knows? One thing we know for sure, she wants her career to do well and she's chomping at the bit to do concerts again...as soon as COVID allows. Fans never like it when Jackie disappears for a bit, but it's hardly unprecedented. Just give her some time. I assure you she isn't "ignoring" her fans because she wants to.

I've been a Jackie fan for 8 years. Never in that time have I known her to not connect with her fans at Christmas, New Years or on any other holiday. Young people basically have a natural immunity to COVID. Close to impossible that she's suffering with it. If she contracted it, the effects are no worse than a common cold. Possibly some other seasonal flu, but also very unlikely for over a month. I think my analysis above is spot on.
