Italian Woman are Tough !!

An elderly Italian man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favorite ravioli wafting up the stairs.

He gathered his remaining strength and lifted himself from the bed.

Gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs.

When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen, where if not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in Heaven, for there, spread out upon wax paper on the kitchen table were hundreds of his favorite ravioli.

Was it Heaven? Or was it one final act of his wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?

He threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a crumpled posture.

His parched lips parted, the wondrous taste of the ravioli was already in his mouth.

With a trembling hand he reached up to the edge of the table, when suddenly he was smacked with a wooden spoon by his wife who said:

"Va fanculo"

"Questi sono per il funerale."

(Translation - "Fu_ _ off. These are for the funeral.")

Billy Currington and SUGARLAND

Friday night was a trip to Milwaukee to see Billy Currington and SUGARLAND.

I had a chance to pickup some fresh vegetables at a Wisconsin roadside stand. Great stuff and I got some Wisconsin Cheese but not for my head, no "Cheese Head" for me I'm a BEARS fan!!!

Ok so I get to the Bradley Center and meet my good friends, Don, Helen, and their daughter Julie. Now these guys are REAL SUGARLAND Fans!! Don and Helen are heading to Vegas shortly and I hope they win BIG BUCKS !! Julie has to keep working but she travels a lot, in fact she just got back from KC and had a chance to see Luke Bryan another good country singer.



I head to my seat and get settled in when my Neighbors for the Night arrived. Jerri and Tony from Madison.

Tony is a drummer but is taking a little time off and he and Jerri are going to Mexico next week. Jerri for a conference and both for R&R. How neat !! Here I am stuck going to concerts. I better start traveling, hum, maybe Seattle !!

Now here are a couple other dancing fans who were Rockin' to Billy Currington but were there for SUGARLAND !!

Now we get to Billy Currington. You might have read about the tornado in Alberta Canada a few weeks ago that killed 5 people. Well Billy was there but survived the mess. (Check his jeans I think they were there too and pulled from the damaged stage!!)

And of course Billy's great hit"PEOPLE ARE CRAZY".

Now how about a little SUGAR !!

And then Jennifer and Kristian signed a new guitar and Kristian headed into the audience to give it to a lucky fan.

This little girl was TRILLED !!!

Another great concert comes to an end.

Next is the Chicago Country Fest on October 3rd and 4th in Grant Park Chicago. Then I have to wait for Jerry Seinfeld and then Steve Martin later in October. Keep Rockin' and keep checkin' my blog !!!!

U2 with Snow Patrol at Soldier Field 9/12/2009

You could never go to a better concert or see anything like the "CLAW" !

On my trip to Soldier Field I met one of the fans, "TR", who goes to several music concerts each year. TR was kind enough to share a cab ride to the venue. Thanks TR, hope to see you at some other concerts.
Two couples, who where my neighbors for the night, were from Aurora and where great "Elevation" fans as well as U2 fans.
And an usher in the section I was in, saw that I was eating peanuts so he came by and said " "Hey mister your "nuts" are on the floor" ". What friendly people.

The fans were great and of course it was a sell out. Check it out.

Snow Patrol opened and got the fans "Rockin".

And then highlighted their set with "Chasing Cars" which they dedicated to U2.

And now for the incredible "U2". Here's 3 video's of their opening.

Next two videos of "Elevation"

Here's a 3 part video and then a single.

And the last video.

Gary Allan and STYX at the Walworth County Fair

OK the Walworth County Fair in Elkhorn Wisconsin over the weekend had perfect weather, great crowds, and great music!! Saturday night was country with Gary Allan and Sunday night was the great Rock group "STYX".




Gary gyrated to many of his great hits including, "Nothing On But The Radio", "The Best I Ever Had","Learning How To Bend", Life Ain't Always Beautiful", and "Right Where I Need To Be".



Here's a little vid with Gary singing "Learning How To Bend".

And then "Life Ain't Always Beautiful".

Then Gary has a little trouble with the lyrics for "Right Where I Need To Be" but a guy named "Mike" came to Gary's rescue and helped him out and you'll see Gary rewarded him.
Here it is.


And now the great "STYX"
Here's "Lady".


"Come Sail Away"


"Too Much Time On My Hands"
