Do you live in the Boston area?  

I check the Opry site, too. 

How EXCITING!  What a great time!! 

Hope I get to meet AJ someday.

I picked up my copy last night.   I haven't read it yet but I looked at the photos.

Alan got #5 sexiest country men???!!!  They should be ashamed......

I was there.  It was my very first AJ show and I loved every minute of it.  As much as I love 30 Miles West, I was so happy he did so many of his hits.   I'm a new fan (since 30MW came out) so it was a new experience for me.  His catalog of hits is so impressive - even being a new fan I recognized all of them.   

I attended the show in Lowell, Mass a few weeks ago, too.  I will go to see AJ whenever I can.   One thing I want to add to my bucket list is to see him at the Ryman in Nashville.  If I see he ever plays there, I will be buying a ticket and I'll be headin' South.  Hee Haw!

Sorry if this has already been posted.  I love this video.  Such a beautiful song.

p.s. He's so handsome....swoon.....

I wasn't sure if this was the right area to post this in. 

Anyway, I love to hear him talk about life on the road.

Thought it was cute when he said he gets nervous thinking he might forget lyrics.  I always admire any artist who can get up and sing anything.  I'd flub the lyrics almost immediately.  That in and of itself is almost an art.

I love his Southern accent.

Another great looking blond with the same name!

I attended with 2 friends but they had separate seats.  I had the best time with the people who were in adjoining seats to mine - very friendly and BIG fans of AJ.  The guy sitting next to me with his gf thought we were nuts - she and I would scream after each song.   She also caught one of his guitar picks.   We really had a great time.

He did an extended autograph thing during the encore - he signed cowboy hats, shirts, boots, pieces of paper, purses - anything the crowd offered to him.  He tried to do as many as he could and kept she show going.  I can tell he really likes & appreciates his fans & they love him in return.

I'm sure this will only be the 2nd of a lot more shows to come for me. Can't wait to go to more.  

Sorry I missed both of you.  I hadn't been online for a couple of days.   

Great show! It's amazing how many hits Alan performs - they just keep on comin'.   I took some nice photos so I'll try to post them along with my photos from a couple of weeks ago.  I've slow because I've been having some software issues but I'll figure it out sooner or later.

I thought it was so nice of him to sign so much stuff for audience members from the stage last night - boots, hats, t-shirts, envelopes - if someone passed him something, he signed it. 

A great time was had by all, especially me.

I was lucky to attend my 2nd AJ show in Lowell, Massachusetts last night.  I'm a new fan. 

I've attended more live music shows than anyone I've know - rock and roll, folk, country, blues - every genre of music, really.

I was really struck by the audience at last night's show. I sat between a young couple who were in their 20s - not sure if they were dating or married - and a woman who was in her 70s who attended with her daughter (who looked to be in her early 50s).  Young children attended with their parents.  I was in the 5th row, right in front of the microphone.  All of the people who went to stand in front of the stage all seemed to be very enthusiastic fans in their 20s and 30s.   There were Hispanic people, African Americans - people from every walk of life, really.   It's pretty amazing the widespread appeal AJ has to all different kinds of people - it's very different from any other live music show I've attended.  Says alot about the quality of his music - it crosses all ages and races - and from the reactions I heard from the crowd everyone loves him.   

The first time I saw AJ live (a few weeks ago in Springfield, MA), it wasn't as apparent because his show took place at a very big country fair.  I just assumed it was a fair crowd.  Boy, was I wrong.

Last night I saw AJ for the second time - in Lowell, Mass.  Somebody yelled out, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALAN!"  He chuckled and said he doesn't celebrate his birthday any longer.  It was cute - I bet his wife and kids do something for his birthday every year even if it's a small family thing. 

For anyone going to the show in Lowell - there's a block party on the rear lawn of the venue from 5-7 on Friday.  Music, food, etc. 

Thanks for the link!

What luck!  Have fun at the Meet and greet!
