Seriously, it was out in the country in a place called Smiley Hollow. It was SO kool!! Metal buckets and wash tubs all over the place, filled with ice and drinks...water, juice, beers....free food by the plate fulls!!! Pulled pork (the best I've ever had, which is saying something cuz I don't care for it), Deep Fried Cat Fish, BBQ Chicken, corn bread (in the form of pancakes...never saw THAT before!), slaw, beans, watermelon, desserts like banana puddings....down home cookin! lol
There were all these wooden buildings, (even an outhouse) picnic tables, grassy knolls...it was wonderful. Games set up all over the place, horse shoes, volley ball, mini golf...live entertainment in the food building...(WHY DIDN'T I BRING MY CAMERA????) SIGH...I'm hoping to get some pix from SB later on...The fun started at 6:30, local entertainment, beginner bands etc. then a talent show kinda thing with some SB folks, wives, etc performing..then outside to the BIG ( I MEAN BIG) tent for the concert. Bleachers on one side, these kool 'fold up into a bag' blankets for sitting on the ground (gave us to keep) rain jackets (just in case,also gave us to keep) and then the show started....I've always loved .38 Special, tho I never got to see them live...they were FANTASTIC!! Course, it may have made a difference, since I was in front of the stage for the entire thing!!!!!!!!!!!! I had hoped to snag a pick for Katie to use when she practices...how KOOL would THAT be????But the girl next to me got one, and the guy next to her got one..and then this little kid comes up and stands in my spot, jumps up and down several times...(he couldn't see over the stage...he was maybe 8?) anyways...I let me in my spot, so he can see, when he suddenly bends down and picks up a pick that had landed on the ground!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. that darn pick was in my spot...I'd been standing there hoping to get a pick the entire concert....that inhaled vigorously.
AH< but .38 sounded fantastic....(altho the base guitar looks older than my dad! LOL they sure seemed to have a good time to)
and what a FANTASTIC thing,to have a company put on a private concert just for their employees etc. (Sponsored by one of their vendors, JLG)
after they finished,
I had gone back to where B was sitting, since I'd left him alone the entire concert...altho I said I was only going to the front of the stage for ONE song..lol
we chat with some folks next to us, James and Shonna(?)(I couldn't quite hear her name)
ok, after about a 45 min break, PF comes out...B wanted me to stay with him, since I'd abandoned him earlier, I should add here, he's not much into concerts..they are too noisy/loud, and he usually gets a headache. LOL
SO, I stay and I discover something...with the excpetion of a couple of songs..I am NOT a PF fan....way too much solo guitar, loonnnnngggg rifts, jazzy sounding...not my thing at all...so I whisper to B, that except for the one song I really wanted to hear, (Baby I Love Your Way) I didn't care to stay in the tent...lol
so we went out in the back of the grassy area, talked to a bunch of people, B.(dh's boss) his wonderful wife (M) and S., from Ohio! LOL
After several more annoying
After that song was done, we left to the sounds of "Do You Feel Like I Do?" way fun walking down the road,on the way to the bus,belting out the opening lines of that one!! tee hee
