I love Instagram

I have had this new app for several weeks and just figured out how much more it can do

Smokin' Joe

My sister and brother in law are here visiting from Portland Oregon he wanted to come out to go to Boulder Blues because Smokin' Joe Kubeck was performing on Saturday night. He has been looking forward to this for months. We were the first one in line so we could get the best seats in the house. As soon as we got in and got our seats Steve decided he had to go find the restrooms, one minute after he left who comes walking in the room ...yup Smokin' Joe himself, I called him over and had him take a photo with me, my brother in law couldn't believe that he missed it. The show was great and this week has been such a fun week with them both. We took them out last night to see the Jaborwakeez at the Monte Carlo, that show is really entertaining.

Million Dollar Quartet

The Smith Center once again delivers! Last night Ronna and I went to see the story about the one and only night Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis got together for a impromptu jam session. There was so much story behind these four and their time at Sun Records...I had no idea that Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins left Sun Records on the very same day.
I know this video says "no on Broadway" but NOW ITS IN VEGAS BABY!

Rest in Peace Mom

My little graduate

I can't believe how time flies, it just seems not that long ago that Kaitlyn was born and now here she is getting ready to start her first year of school. The pre-school she goes to had a cap and gown graduation this week...I know she IS my grand daughter but you got to agree...she is a beauty!

 

You Gotta Go

The Smith Center for the Performing Arts has just recently opened here in Las Vegas and I have been lucky enough to have been invited to go to the first 2 plays of this seasons Broadway Series. My friend Ronna bought season tickets for this seasons performances and we have been to see The Color Purple and just this past weekend we Saw Mary Poppins. The venue is over the top beautiful and these photos really don't show just how beautiful this place really is. This photo is what you see  when you first walk into the building just past the lobby. All 5 floors of the center  have their own bars, large comfortable seating areas, and balcony's (except for this floor of course). The grounds around the area is spectacular with lots of Art all around. It's amazing that we have something this special right here in Las Vegas. I know I know we have all the shows on the strip and they are great but nothing is better than the experience of going out to "The Theater".
Season tickets for this season are already gone but I have just bought my season tickets for next season ...8 great shows!

Thank you so much Ronna for sharing this with me!

This is the view from our seats!

Happy Birthday Robert Zimmerman

Born Robert Zimmerman AKA Bob Dylan is 71 years old today...can't believe that. 
I grew up listening to Bob Dylan and I must own most all his music. Love all his music and it brings me back to my younger, wilder days.
Happy Birthday Bob ...thanks for the great music
