Write about the last social event you attended.

It has been way to long since I have posted. I pulled a slip out of the journaling jar for tonight's post.

This weekend I attended two. Friday night me and two good friends went to Knoxville. Randy Owen put on a benefit concert for the church in Knoxville that was struck by tragedy when a gunman entered and shot 9 people, killing two. One of Randy's guitar players is a really good friend and we went to support them. It was awesome, Randy sang for almost two hours, originals, old Alabama classics and he even asked Wade to do one of his own. He sang "Old Enough To Know Better", and was amazed at the whole building singing right along with him just like they were with Randy.

Last night, we headed over to Pottsville, TN to Marcy Jo's. They hold a songwriter's night once a month. Joey and Rory, the hosts, asked Wade to join them this month. AWESOME! We pulled up to a little country restuarant in the middle of nowhere and out back was a haywagon that was the stage. They served homemade desserts, tea, lemonade and coffee and we all just enjoyed some GREAT music.
