Great Concert

Today many of us from the Park attended an afternoon concert at the Livestock grounds. The event was held inside one of the larger buildings and the place was packed.

John Sager, who was voted best male vocalist  in the Valley for 2013, opened up the concert and put on a very good show.

 Leslie Blasing, who won best female vocalist in the Valley followed with an excellent performance. She managed to get a lot of laughs out of all of us as usual. Someone said she was sick today but you would never have known it by her performance.

 Lastly, Jeff Gordon closed the show with a one hour concert that blew everyone away. I have heard Jeff sing before and I have always enjoyed his shows but today was spectacular.  At someone's request he did a Louis Armstrong impersonation and sang "What a Wonderful World". It was amazing. He also did some Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, John Conley, and Conway Twitty to name a few. He is just an extremely talented singer. Several times during the show Jeff came down among the crowd, often standing on chairs  to get closer to the entire audience.

I managed to get a picture of the three of  them together after the concert but there is also one Winter Texan in the picture.

By the way, the concert was free but they passed around the bucket for donations.

During the shows there were many audience participation acts. Everyone got into it. Below, my friend Jude is leading all of us on her team, trying to out-sing the other side of the room.

It was a great day of music and dancing.

Tomorrow we are off to South Padre Island for the weekend.

Keep warm.
