Music and layouts
Blog Prompt: The Grand Ole Opry opens on October 18,1925. Have you ever been to a music concert? Describe the experience.
I LOVE music and have been to a few concerts in my life time. My first concert was Liberace in St. Louis in the 80′s. Oh my gosh could that man sing and of course, that 2 million dollars worth of costumes that he wore during the performance. He also did one section where there were dancing waters while he played the piano. I loved that concert.
My next concert was Tina Turner when she made her comeback. I’m tellin ya, I have never seen legs like that in my life on a woman of her age. She wore really high heels through the whole 2 hour concert, really tiny outfits and danced her heart out. I was truly impressed with that woman and how she made it on her own after the hell that Ike put her through.
I have also seen Richard Marx two times. I love his soft rock music and I hate that he doesn’t cut music anymore. He writes for other artist’s now. I have also seen Foghat and Night Ranger for the rocker side of me in the 80′s.
When I started working at the Rodeo, they had great country singers all 4 nights. I have seen a lot of country singers during that time and have enjoyed every one of them. My favorite is Tracy Byrd and I saw him on my 40th birthday and again at the rodeo. He has got this really sexy deep voice that just…..uuuuuummmm……….wow! And oh my!! He is prettier than a glob of butter melting on a stack of pan cakes!
I guess why I love country music so much is because it reminds me of where I am from and what kind of laid back, redneck I am.

I used the Autumn Harvest kit by the Plain Digital Wrapper team and what a kit this is!! There are over 60 papers and 30 elements to choose from. The 2 layouts below is just an example of the different colors in this beautiful kit.
I love music too!! And I love country music… it is just too bad we don’t have that kind of music here in Mexico..
Beautiful Layouts! I need to go check that kit!
TFS!
My first concert was David Cassidy at Rendwick in Australia in the early 70s. I love your layouts.
Your LO’s are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful layouts!
I enjoy concerts, too. The last one I went to was Earth Wind and Fire. I like it, but seeing all those old guys on stage reminded me that I was a little past my prime as well.
Fun but depressing.
I agree with AfriDigiDiva. I’ve only been to a few concerts, but they included The Beach Boys and Chicago (not when they were in their prime, more like in the 80s). That pretty much puts me in the category of “old fart” I’m afraid!
I’ve been to a bazillion concerts in my years. Some, like Prince, I’m still amazed that my parents let me go when I was in high school.
I can’t believe how well Tina Turner moves at her age. I hope I age as well!
You got to see Richard Marx??!!! I think I still have all his albums! How lucky you were
