Hey,
Guess what.
I wons free tickets to see
Robinella and the CC String Band and
The Del McCoury Band at the
Ryman Theater.
Quite possibly the one concert I wanted to see the most this year and I didn't even know it was happening.
I was just listening while driving heard the DJ say to call to win and won.
Robinella and the CC String Band actually played at our wedding reception four years ago. One of the members was a friend of ours so we signed them up to play.
The wedding was outside in the mom-in-law's back yard which is rich with flowers and song birds. Everyone ate bar-b-q and danced. It was great.
Last night was awsome as well. After their set my buddy and I went down to find my friend (who was there but doesn't play with them anymore) to catch up.
He was actually with the band so we got to congradulate them on a great set their first time playing the Ryman.
If you don't know the Ryman was the original location of the Grand Ole Opry and has quite a bit of nostalga and is sort of a meca for real county, bluegrass and western music. Getting to open for Del McCoury had to be a trip also.
Both Robinella's and the McCoury's albulms are great and songs can be heard on

PS Bisquick put packages of their new Honey Biscuit mix in every seat and so we scavanged on the way out and I got 6 packages. Pretty much pays for the $7 parking so I broke even on a night jam packed with kick tail music. Remember how I said it all works out? I was right.
