Joe Ely Show

Saturday we were invited to go see Joe Ely at the local luxury hotel down the street. The show was free for guests and folks from outside had to pay a cover. It was not really advertised so we figured it would be a nice small show to go see.

We left the house at 7;05 for the 7:30 show. Neighbor David dropped us at the front door and went to park. We walked in the front door to the lobby and who should be standing there looking a bit lost was JOE ELY!

I said "Hey! Ready for a show?"

"Yes except I don't know where it is." he replied.

"Well just hop in our car and we'll take you to our house a couple miles down the road and we can have the show there!"

He laughed and suggested a room show at the hotel. We all laughed and then his golf cart arrived with the band ready to take him to the show. We followed on foot, paid our money, found seats in the sixth row and sent the boys to get the drinks.

There were a zillion little kids there having as much fun as the grown-ups. He played a nice 2 hour show. We had more drinks at the hotel and went home to get kiddo from the neighbor. I wish I had taken the opportunity to get a pic with him when we had him in the lobby. rats.
