Bonfires and Amplifiers

Bobby and I celebrated our Valentine's Day by going out to dinner and then to the Brad Paisley concert. We were both very impressed at his guitar playing abilities. It was amazing! He definately put on a great show. We'd love to go again some day. The crowd was mostly tame with the exception of the obese lady at the end of our row wearing the fake eyelashes. Unfortunately for her, the Metro PD escorted her out before BP ever even took the stage. I guess that's what happens when you down 6 beers that are a foot tall each back to back. Here's Brad for those of you who are not up on your country music Entertainer of the Year kind of people.

Rodney Atkins (whom I had heard of but couldn't place) opened up for BP. He had a lot of songs that Bobby and I both recognized and could sing along to. He did a fantastic job as well. The best part was when his kindergarten age son came running out on the stage at the end. Since I've had kids it doesn't take much for me to get a lump in the ol' throat.
This is a picture from our seats. We weren't far away at all..........but I had my puny camera. Not my normal good picture taking reliable camera that actually snaps a picture when you tell it to. It was at this point that I told Bobby " If I were Brad, I would have to forgo the hand slapping. I mean, he's totally going to get the flu........." That's just me folks. A pretty much normal kind of girl with some apparent germaphobia. Besides, I'm sure each time the lights went down for him to change guitars he was also using Purex to sanitize his hands..............
