Tracy Lawrence Concert

Friday, with Linda in Smith's Grove, Stacey and I went to eat breakfast with Jason. Stacey and I walked in and surprised Jason because Stacey had forgot to mention it during their telephone call the night before. We had breakfast and made plans for picking Jason up later in the day so he could go with us to the Tracy Lawrence concert. After we finished breakfast and returned to the farm, Linda came home. She said Emondson County Schools had closed and Brent was staying home to take care of Julie so she came on home early. We showered and left for the concert a little before 3:30 PM, picked up Jason and headed towards Glasgow. We had scheduled extra time due to the weather forecast of possibly a winter storm and to also eat before the concert at 7 PM. It was raining for the ride to Glasgow and when we stopped at Mancino's to eat, we were almost the only people in the restaurant. Stacey and Jason split a pepperoni pizza and Linda and I split a steak grinder. A grinder is a long sandwich that has been baked in the pizza oven and Mancino's is one of our favorite places to eat. We dinked around a little while, then drove to the Courthouse Square in Glasgow and parked. We walked about a half block to the Plaza Theatre.
 
We waited about 2 minutes for the doors to open, then we were let in the lobby and waited a few minutes longer while the band was eating they said. Soon, we were let into the seating area and shown to our seats. Jason remarked that the seats were good seats and then Stacey, Jason and I went back to the lobby and purchased a couple of shirts for them. A few minutes after 7 PM, the house lights went down and a few announcements were made, then they announced Tracy Lawrence and he came out and began his concert.
  
  
The music was loud and the crowd was loud too. The audience responded well to Tracy after each song. Tracy said they were filming for a live DVD to be released later. He played song after song without stopping to talk. He did stop a few times to say a few things, but his concert was music and more music. He sang almost all of his hits, which were more than I had thought he had. I'd forgot about some of them. He had the place roaring with applause and finally said good night.
 
Everyone stood and yelled loudly until he came back for a encore. I took Stacey and Jason down to the stage for the encore and let them be up real close for the final 3 songs. Then the concert was over as we left the building and it was snowing. Tracy had sang for over 2 hours almost non-stop. The truck windows were ice covered and the streets were really slick. I used the 4 wheel drive all the way home as we listened to the Cumberland County Girls team lose their game at Diddle Arena in Bowling Green. It took about a hour before we dropped Jason off at his Grandmother's house. She met him at the door and we went on home.
