You should have weather similar to ours yesterday...which was perfect!!!
Congrats on the m&g op, Hope. I know it has been a few years for you.
We left a bit of purdy on AJ from our staring at him at his feet in Springfield, IL.

It was very memorable, Betty...and so happy we met up again!

the newspaper is called the State Journal-Register... nothing online, yet

hmmmm About my Favorite Part of Alan's show last nite in Springfield, IL:  wouldn't know where to start!!! would it be the memory of his fingertips touching mine early into the show...watching him enjoy the show himself while we stood at his feet (!)... seeing him give a pick to another fan/friend's (Betty G) granddaughter by clasping her fingers around it... using my sharpie for all of the signing... our 4 th row seats thru the fan club...that gave us the privilege to stand at the stage.... or... no camera issues!? What an AWEsome concert!!! and the weather was perfect, too. Don't think I have ever seen Alan up here in IL in concert where I wore one of the AJ short-sleeved tees!

And Roger Bob Wills thanked Me for being His fb friend and he let some of us have our pics made with him. What a sweet man!!  (he also LIKEd my appreciative comments today on fb).

 I love the way children are appreciated by RB and Alan. One thing Alan didn't do this time was take his hat off and tip it to the crowd as he entered...or any other time in the concert. And he stood while singing "The Bluesman" and also "Where Were You"...with his hand over his heart... and also with his hand over his heart sometimes during "Remember When."  The young girls by us at the stage were so thrilled when "Good Time" was to start.  Me, Too!!   They were into the whole show. Oh! and Alan threw out new turquoise shirts rolled up.

During the sit down segment, Alan noted that he loves those old sadddd country tunes and sang a recent single that he wrote:  "So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore."   We love it when he and his band members also are seated on the tall stools.   What a great nite!!!  There were 3 empty seats in the center of our section in the 3rd row All nite.. so sad!!!

Also, I introduced two ladies to an AJ concert experience, too. They were still floating when we parted ways here around 1 a.m.

Springfield IL fans especially seem to bring out that twinkle in Alan's eyes... He was so Loved there.  Alan talked a great deal last nite... and I think he has trimmed down too. Looked 'thin' to me. (another fan agreed). 

He had the crowd all revved as "WWY" ended... They cheered and went on and on for a bit to show him how much we appreciate "Where Were You."

♥ ♥ All you need is lovvvvvvvvvvve. Aieeeeeeeeeee

so where did you buy your tix from, sutherngent? 

 we with preferred seating pick them up at Will Call...no
sooner than an hr before the show...

[<3]

Wow, tschafer!  10 Years!!  Hope this is very enjoyable for you, especially.

Glad to see fans I 'know' going, too. Yeahhhh, Betty, Carla and Sandy!! <3

I had not used this new method of buying the tix so was anxious... and noticed the preferred seating link come up at midnite so didn't wait for the Buy Tix icon to show up.  I figured that was the change we were waiting for and used it.  I think maybe the Buy Tix icon goes up when we are past the time deadline for using preferred seating ...

Yes, hope the seats are as good as they have been in the past, too.  

did that... aieeeeee

he was only offered 2.something million for it...so he took it off of the auction.

also they have a lake home on the same lake as AJ's...and it is for sale.

He has been practicing for shows and is ready to go Nancy says...

my tix will still be good in Nov. when he comes nearby here...

Hope you go, Brenda.  Tonite at midnite is when the preferred tix go onsale!!
