Brooks & Dunn anyone? :)

WHAT A CONCERT!!! I cannot believe how awesome these guys are in person. They sang just about every hit they ever made! The concert began with *Red Dirt Road* and ended with *Only in America.* There was everything else in between!

During *Only in America* the stage was a video backdrop of the American flag and several members of our Armed Forces came out and saluted. Everyone rose to their feet and tons of red, white and blue confetti rained down on all of us.

*I Believe* was absolutely beautiful and, as I knew it would, cast a spell over the whole place. My hubby is far from a country music fan (his idea of country music is The Eagles....

) and he commented on the way home that the concert was excellent. My only complaint was that I could have sat there another two hours. I will definitely be seeing these guys again if they ever get remotely in driving distance.

My son liked them before and now, of course, has become an even bigger fan. If anyone has a chance to see them, please don't miss it.

As expected, Sugarland was also terrific and gave a plug for the "New Jersey Boy" (Bon Jovi) who sings along with her in *You Can't Go Home* although he obviously wasn't there. What a great night! I may never come off Cloud Nine. LOL!

Wow! That is so exciting, and what a great picture!

I really like Brooks & Dunn and I have one of their greatest hits CDs. Glad you had a great time, that's awesome!

I'm glad you had such a good time (but really how could you not). That is an awesome picture.

I saw them in concert with Reba 8 or 9 years ago.

Pam, I do think you may be on your way to enlisting hubby and/or son to be enthusiastic companions for future concert outings. I so happy the concert turned out to be all you expected it to be and more. You know,from now on I will be keeping an ear out for their music as well.

Happy you had a good time, I knew you would.

Anna and Kari, I cannot take the credit for that picture. I got it off the web

in case there was someone who didn't know who they were.

Hubby had wanted so much to take his camera. He has lots of lenses and could have gotten some terrific shots. From the literature we read on the concert we were of the understanding that cameras were not allowed. Apparently that is not 100% enforced because we saw lots of cameras there.

Oh well.....next time! Speaking of next time, we are all hoping to get a group together and drive to Baltimore in October to see Brad Paisley. My almost-five year old grandson is one of Brad's biggest fans and this will be his first concert.
