Mama made her a new strap!

One of my favorite parts of family gatherings is when my niece pulls out her guitar and sings for us!

Which song just started playing in YOUR head?

Darius Rucker in Concert

Yesterday my friend asked me to go to this show with her this evening. Sometimes a 'spur of the moment' decision can be a good one! I was just a passing fan of this man, but now I am a dedicated fan. He puts on a really, really good show! He's one of those super talented musicians that can plan any genre of music, (which he did throughout his set) As you all know, I'm a lover of all types of music, so that was right up my alley and I enjoyed it very much!!

Doin' what she loves!

This evening we enjoyed another wonderful concert performed by the Bonny Eagle Select Chorus! They are sooooo talented.

Meet Marshall Ruffin

Marshall Ruffin was the opening act for the Crystal Bowersox show. Dear God, can that man sing! I don't think that I have ever enjoyed gospel more. He also played back-up guitar for Crystal and their voices together were amazing. My niece was super impressed as well. We'll be following his career and looking for his music in the future!

Another Fantastic Rock Show

2 of my favorite rock bands played in Portland last night. First up was Breaking Benjamin. They put on a great performance, including pulling some kids out of the crowd and giving them the opportunity to sing a song with them. It was so cool for them to be able to do that!

Next was Shinedown. This was my second time watching them perform, and I do not regret going to see them again. They were just as awesome in concert last night as they were 5 years ago! One of my friends and I chose not to fight for a spot in the front row so that we could find space to sing and dance to our hearts' content further back in the crowd. It was a great decision! We had a blast!!

Their 1st Concert

This evening we drove down to the South Portland Auditorium to watch Home Free, an acapella group perform.  They were incredible!  The voices on those men, from high notes to low notes, and the noises that the 'beat-box' guy could make, were amazing!  To top it off, they were really funny, so it was a very entertaining concert and we enjoyed it very much.  We hope they come back to Maine again soon!
