Yesterday was the Josh Turner Concert in Joliet. It was great!!
I got to the theater early so I stood around in the lobby waiting to see if I knew anyone coming into the theater. Well sure enough I spot a cowboy dude named Mike who is a double for Trace Adkins. I have seen Mike at several Trace concerts as well as at Country Thunder in Wisconsin. Mike walks around Trace's concerts and poses for pictures when asked by the cowgirls. Trace has even pleasently acknowledged Mike during his concert. Well soon I spot two friends of Mike's who I met last year at a couple of concerts and who are really great ladies, Debbie and Betty. We talked for a while about concerts we each have gone to recently then I found out that Debbie is going to go to the big Nashville Fest soon. How lucky! Betty is going to see Keith Urban in May (me too) at the Allstate Arena and then her and her husband have planned a trip, with their 14 year old, to Washington DC. What a perfect time for the student. Well it was getting time to take our seats for the opening singer, Dean Brody was due out.
Oops I forgot I need to get a Josh T-shirt.
And only $25. Not bad for a concert T.
Now once I found my seat I met two country ladies from Aurora who are really Josh fans but also real country music fans, Kathy and Crystal. They have been to Country Thunder for the past 5 or so years but aren't going this year because their husbands both work in the auto industry and as you know things are kind of up for grabs as far as layoffs. Good Luck girls!! Hope things work out for you and your husbands.
Now on with the concert!
Dean Brody sang some good old country music and also sang his first single which went on sale today. (Ask for it by his name.)
After an intermission Josh hits the stage. Wow !! Finally he's belting out several of his hits in his very very deep voice. Terrific!!!
The video he is singing "Me and God." Great song!!
Josh caused a little tear in my eye when he sang "Soulmate." Mine is waiting at Heaven's gate for me. She left me too soon in 2000 at a very young age.
Wow !! Great concert as usual! And thanks to Josh's wife Jennifer who accompanied Josh on keyboard and vocals.
