are all huge country
music fans. We have certain ones we enjoy together, but then
we all have our own favorites. We all enjoy attending concerts, listening
to our favorite radio Station, or the latest CD.
This page is to share with you some of the great stories and photos of concerts we attended. Also supply you with links and photos of favorites. Some of the Links will be right in the story or will be listed below.
The above photo is a shadow box I made with some of the ticket stubs from some of the concerts that we attended. I just wish that I would have all of the stubs from
all the concerts we attended before I decided to save them to make a shadow box. I would have had enough by now to do another one,instead of just collecting them.
How do you start to tell
someone else, about the best group in Country Music. Until
Dana Brian,
you have the opportunity
to go to one of their concerts, you can not imagine just how
great they are.
We have had the opportunity to go to many of their concerts. The
most recent was in Eaton, PA. This was the second concert of the
new tour. Not only do they give you the best music, but some of them,
could be comedians.
especially.
It was this concert that we all found out how multi-talented he was.
His little pranks he
does to all of them, trying to be sneaky about it. The drum duet
he did with Brian is unbelievable. It
was minutes of pure enjoyment.
watching him play the
drums through out the concert is a show in itself. He really knows
how to play those drums and twirl those sticks.
Marty, what do you say about a guy with a beautiful voice. My favorite song is
Beauty and the Beast,
from the Disney goes Country CD. I am hoping that some day they
will do it at one of the concerts. My favorite part of the concert
is the unplugged part. It was there we heard
them do music recorded by other artists.
Saturday in the Park
was unbelievable. It was during the unplugged part that we
got to see that Brian has a good voice too.
The first we ever heard him sing.
When they did the song How your Love makes Me Feel, their wasn't a person in the audience who wasn't singing along. In fact, you could hear the fans at some point more then the group. I know that they will win every award that song is nominated for.
Love to see Marty, swerve to the left,when they do How Your Love Makes Me Feel.
Jimmy,
what can you say about the best musician in country. The only
other words
Gene,
that come to mind is
what Barbra Streisand said to Omar Sharif in Funny Girl,
Hello Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
him try to get back
at Dana for all the pranks he
does. No one else can play those
like Dan. There is no one better.
The closing of the show, after a standing ovation, was their rendition of China Grove. It never sounded better.
Unfortunately, the
next time we would be able to see them, would be when they perform at Great
Adventures in New Jersey. But I know Marty
will forgive us. We will be at Dover Downs,
for a NASCAR
race, go # 94 Bill Elliot.

Dana & Dave Jimmy the Musician Jimmy & Linda
Their opening act was Faith Hill.
Just seen Brooks and Dunn's Concert for the 1998 Season.
It was outstanding. It is amazing the scenary that they always have. Took out the blowup Steer Head and replaced it
with some blow up boots. They probably embarrassed the drumer enough by letting it collapse on him on national tv.
As usually Kix's was in a devilish mood. Ronnie could become a major league baseball catcher the way he was catching all
those drum sticks. Didn't miss a one.
We had seen Alan Jackson many times before, so we
were actually there to see Trace Adkins. Of course Trace opened the show. For many years, my daughter,
a friend, and myself said that there is no one who could wear a pair of Wrangler's the way Sammy Kershaw could.
My opinion changed that night. TRACE does for a pair of Wrangler's, what a Playboy Bunny does for
a bunny suit. He knows the right moves and shakes. OH, be still my beating Heart. I don't think
that there was a woman in the audience who didn't have the same thoughts that I did.
Don't even ask what those thoughts are?
Besides seeing Brooks and Dunn, we saw two weeks later
Alan Jackson and Trace Adkins.
Alan Jackson was good too. But it was the weekend before it was
publicly announced about the divorce. You could tell that many things were on his mind. But maybe after just seeing
Trace Adkins, my mind would and could not concentrate on Alan Jackson. Dave really loved when Alan did Mercury Blues,
but instead did it about Ford Trucks. Which is what is Dave's favorite truck. In fact, sometime in 1998, Dave will probably
be ordering a 1999 Ford F350 Truck. Of course, it will be black, just like all the other vehicles in the Stoudt family.
Oops, Michelle has a Red Ford Mustang. Dave keeps telling her that he is going to put all the logos from Bill Elliots
#94 Nascar car. Our favorite Nascar Driver.
The next concert we saw was Clint Black. What can
you say about the concert, except that it was great. The crowd was really into it. I could have sat and listened to his
"unplugged" session all night. Would love to have his Cadillac sofa. A great conversation piece. Had lots of great videos
when he was performing. This is a concert you should not miss.
In the near future,
we have tickets to see the following people in concert.
Brooks and Dunn,
Alan Jackson , Trace Atkins, and
Clint Black.
WRBT
My favorite radio Station. Especially The Breakfast Club, with Todd
and
Nancy. They really
get the Morning going. Hoping to be part of their Possum Posey.
Trying to get a BOB
KNOB, since I turned my knob to BOB.
Sammy
Kershaw Just love his new CD Labor of Love. Especially
"One Day Left to Live." Looks great in a pair of Wrangler's.
Shania
Twain Dave can't wait till she starts her first concert tour.
