The Mighty Oaks

The Mighty Oaks are mightier than I thought!! I went to see the Oak Ridge Boys the other night at Santa Ana casino. It was the best show I've seen in years. These guys did more than at any of their shows I've seen. They top all concerts I've ever been to.
2 hours of great music. These guys sang their hearts out. Some people were amazed at how energetic they were during the whole 2 hours. They couldn't believe that 'old' men can have so much fun. It's funny listening to other people comment about the shows. This lady was sitting in her seat after the show and said "I'm embarrassed to even try to get up. I can barely move and those guys were jumping all over the place!!"
I will try to put some pics of the boys when I get them uploaded. Not sure when that will be.
So, earlier that day we had gone to Isleta casino (aka Hard Rock Hotel & Casino - I like Isleta). My parents don't like to drive and I drive them around when they need someone. So we went over because it's Senior Day. You get $5 free play. So I played my $5 and won $40 on the Dean Martin game. I quit then because I wanted to buy CDs at the concert that night. I ended up buying 2 CDs, one of them being Chris Golden's latest CD. I totally enjoy listening to his music. Great singer and musician. He is William Lee Golden's son and drummer for the Oaks. Anyway I was going home with $5. As we were leaving the casino I thought about all the traffic going out. It's going to be backed up no matter which way you go. So I thought it was best to hang out for a few more minutes. I had $5. So I went to play "Tt's A Blast" which is a sheep game. I enjoy this game only because it has this sheep who blows himself up when he realizes he lit a match with dynamite all around him. Another friend enjoys that game too. Anyway, I started playing and got a bonus game immediately. After that I had several more bonus games. The last one I got lots of credits. I ended up going home with $49. I got my money back from buying those CDs. I thought that was awesome. I went home happy. We listened to Chris' new CD on the way home. It is really good. Chris told me to comment on his website but I haven't had time to go there yet. Guess I better head to that now, now that I'm thinking of it.
If you ever want to see a great show/concert, go see the Oaks if they ever are in your town. You won't regret it. They are awesome. Or do like I do, drive out to one of their shows. I enjoy doing that. Travel to shows I want to see. We don't get many here. Guess cause we're out in the middle of nowhere.
