Rock on Garth

My husband and I went with our friends to the Garth Brooks concert at the new KC Sprint Center and it was awesome! Who knew that our friends from India are country fans. Anyway, they had two extra tickets and we went on the spur of the moment. We did jump through some hoops not wanting to leave 13 in charge of little brother while we were gone for the evening. Someone had to enforce bedtime. We left Unkie holding down the fort.

I didn't know many songs but I clapped and waved my arms as if I did. Our seats were floor seats 8 rows from the stage. I enjoyed "Fever" and by the time Garth sung "Unanswered prayers," I was in love. Silly me, didn't take my camera because I didn't think that you could. Oh, the pictures I would of had! I could see the impish glint of his blue eyes! Our second tier of entertainment was watching the 6 women in the row in front of us. Three sisters each with a friend for girls night out. They knew all of the words to every song. We all danced.

It was a very special concert for my husband because his brother was a huge Garth Brooks fan. His brother died 5 years ago this week of cancer, his spirit was there in memories. My husband reminded me about the time before kids, that we went to a country-western dance place in southern Missouri. We dressed up in so much borrowed country attire that we felt we were in costumes. My husband borrowed a belt bucket the size of a canned ham from a student who did rodeos. We fit right in as we line danced with my husband's brother and his wife. So my husband knew more songs than I, I didn't remember that we even own a Garth CD. We did buy the pink special edition CD at the concert since $10 went to the The Susan G Komen for the Cure foundation. So rock on Garth your concert and cause are tops for me!

Life comes at you fast!
