Bring Me More of THEM Blues...

As many of you know I have a slight obsession with a certain blues singer from the upper midwest...

And also I have a real obsession with blond-haired, blue-eyed boys...yes it's true...

Now combine the two and what do you get?...

Jonny Lang...yup that's who I got to see on the 16th...

Not only was the concert absolutely amazing...which it was I assure you...

And if you haven't heard of him...Listen to 'Breakin Me' or 'Walking Away'...and listen to the vocals and guitar work of this guy...He played with BB King when he was 15...need I say more...

And for those of you who don't know BB King...you can stop reading this right now...

Anyway...

Not only was the concert AMAZING and LOUD...it wasn't even the best part of the night....

Can you guess why?...

Yup...I got to meet him...

And you would have been so proud of me...I didn't babble like an idiot...

Even though I've been stuck in the woods with 13 other girls all year and I've listened to his music since I was 15...

I DIDN'T BABBLE!...

I even made him laugh and managed to shoot some Fargo around...

Darn Tootin'!

And he gave me his new CD and an autograph...

Yup...darn good night!

I was so concentrated on the conversation and not being an idiot...like normal..that I forgot to take a picture...

Oh well...the memory will have to be enough...plus other people there can verify...

I think I annoyed some of the VIPs because I was making him laugh and chat and they were behind me in line...

It's not my fault that we bonded over our Midwestern roots and the lack of oxygen at this elevation...although the reason I couldn't breathe had nothing to do with the elevation...

My Oh My!...

Picture the best smile you've ever seen...pair it with deep dimples...now add a gravely blues voice...tack that onto to a tall blond boy...and what do you get...

Somebody who normally makes me babble like an idiot...

But not anymore...I'm cool...I'm calm...I was high on cold medicine...

Note to self...carry cold medicine around at all times...

Or mabe it was high on his music...I'm telling you...

For a tall white boy from North Dakota...He can REALLY sing the blues...and he plays the guitar like he's going to die tomorrow...nothing to loose and all heart in...

Go...Listen...Drool...and see how cool you would be face to face with that amount of talent and appeal...

I'll wait while you collect yourself...
