Great Show!


Every year for the past several years the oil company that I retired from has a Christmas show for the employees.


Being retired, I don't qualify to get tickets for the Christmas show anymore. But AD, who also retired from the same company at the same time I did, went back to work for them part time. I'm not sure if that qualifies him to get tickets or not and he hasn't worked in a few weeks, but one of the guys he's worked with for years wasn't going to be able to use his tickets and offered them to AD.

It was a good show and we had a good time. Can you tell who the entertainment was? Probably not. We were sitting wa-a-a-a-y back in the auditorium. Well, not as far back as some folks, but far back enough that I wasn't able to get a good close shot of the guys.

One of the attributes of the Community Center is that the accoustics are excellent and the group sounded great.

Oh yeah - I haven't told you yet who the performers were. If you like country music you probably know the name Diamond Rio. Yep! Diamond Rio was the entertainment and they put on a fine show.

AD and I enjoyed a good evening!

  10. I just love live entertainment....Diamond Rio is good! When you go to Branson, try to get tickets to see SIX. (If you haven't seen them already.) They are an awesome group of six brothers who sing, do comedy and do all the instrumentals with their voices only. Great harmony and they are right on the strip. Have fun!!!
