Roadie Wannabe

I don't know what is worse... that every one of you think I attended a Garth Brooks concert, or the fact that yes, I actually did. I was going to OSU in the early nineties and I think it was mandatory. My little white lie was Blink 182. The others were all great concerts. There is something about going to hear a 'live' band. (As opposed to lip-synching--although I have seen my fair share of those also)

The first concert I ever went to was Chicago.(Mike Lawson can do a mean version of Saturday in the Park on the piano--maybe he will do it for us --as long as David promises not to kick him)

I took my niece Carly to see 'N-Sych (twice). Both times I was pregnant. I think that might go a long way in explaining why Avery and Noble are like they are. The second time was in Dallas and I was 6 months along with Noble. The hotel we stayed at advertised that they were walking distance from Texas Stadium. What they didn't advertise was that you had to shimmy down an underpass with cars zooming ahead. I am surprised DHS didn't intervene right then.

Other notables include Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, The Moody Blues, The Eagles, Britney (am I really admitting to this one) Spears, Dave Matthews, Elton John, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Steve Miller Band, Color Me Badd (he he-Amy and Kiah start singing 'I Wanna Sex You Up...) took my other niece Lindsey to that one. Although not a country fan..I have seen the big ones. George Strait, Reba McEntire, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis etc. etc.

Another favorite concert memory was when Amy tried to get all of the Ford Center to do the wave during The Dixie Chicks. People even threw popcorn at us.

Regrets--I was supposed to go see Stevie Ray Vaughn, but instead opted to study for finals...he died that summer.

Kiah and I have seen Michael W Smith (a couple of times), Third Day, Amy Grant,Mark Schultz, Mercy Me, Jeremy Camp, Britney (calling YOU out now Kiah) Spears,Newsboys, Rebecca St James..(ooh wait that one was with my sister Stacy) what am I forgetting Kia?? Oh, I know..Blues Clues!

Lest I forget The Wiggles (also twice) , and everyones favorite dinosaur --Barney-- who puts on one mean stage show.

Sorry to bore you all, but this has been fun for me. And if anyone wants any Christmas ideas..
Van Morrison is still on my 'to see' list.
