I must Confess

I LLooovvee me some Garth Brooks. I just forgot until tonight. Yes, it is Sunday and I watched T.V. I confess,,,, I don't have Tivo, DVR, I don't even have cable, and this past week I saw on a commercial that Garth Brooks would be doing a medley of his hits tonight on the ACMA's (academy of country music awards) and I just didn't want to miss it, and I'm so glad I didn't that I'm even blogging about it. I don't remember the year he came to Jacksonville, it was 10-12 years ago and my friends and I managed to get tickets in the 10 minutes it sold out. If I remember correctly there was a lottery and you had to go to a record store and they would pass out tickets, and if they called your number then you were able to purchase tickets. There were 4 of us, at different stores and one of us got lucky and was able to buy tickets. The seats were not good, but it was such a great show. Garth Brooks was certainly an entertainer. I bragged about the show so much that the guy I was dating at the time wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so we decided to go downtown the next night (Garth Brooks played 4 nights) and see if we could scalp tickets. Well, there was nobody selling their tickets outside, so we went to the will call booth and would you know it, some crazy person did not show up for their tickets so we were able to purchase them, and can I say I was 5, yes 5 rows from the stage. It was Fabulous! So needless to say, seeing him play tonight brought back some great memories. Music will do that to you everytime!
