August 2011

I can't believe it's already August!! The smell of green chile roasting is in the air!! Already??? Boy has the year flown by because it seems like a month or two ago the smell of roasting green chile was in the air. State Fair starts in one month!!
Tonight Tim McGraw is doing a show at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Albuquerque Pavillion with Luke Bryan and The Band Perry. As you can see, I am not there. Tickets are so expensive these days. I just don't think it's worth spending all that money to hear songs they play on the radio. Last month I went to see The Oak Ridge Boys at Santa Ana Casino and that was worth the money I would have spent had I not won tickets!!! Wow!! They sang songs that were at one time played on the radio but not any more. Of course Elvira will forever be the crowd favorite and you don't hear that on radio any more, not even the station devoted to the oldies. But to hear those songs that aren't heard on radio was worth the time spent there. Oh, there were tears shed when they did songs that Steve Sanders sang lead on. I miss that guy and his wonderful voice. Tim did an interview on the radio yesterday and said that the crowd will hear the usual plus a couple new songs or so. Like I said, I'd rather hear the songs you don't hear any more.
It's trying to rain but I don't think we'll get more than 10 drops. We haven't had much rain since that Sunday night we got 2 inches. Yesterday the Heights got almost 2 inches and nothing down here in the Valley!!
