The Road Goes on Forever... and the Party Never Ends!

Two Saturdays ago, Brett, Sarah, Justin, and I ventured to the quaint town of Brewton, Alabama to see Robert Earl Keen. He was actually head-lining for the Oakridge Boys, but Keen is the one we wanted to see. To the dismay of a few, we didn't even stay for the Oakridge Boys. It was a very fun day. We left around noon, to be sure we got good seats (it was first come first serve), and boy did we ever. When we got there, I don't think there was anyone under the age of 50 there (no offense to those half a century and older), but that just helps describe the crowd. We also weren't sure if any of them even knew who Robert Earl Keen was, and a few of you may be asking yourself the same thing, but once he started singing, Brett found and sang to the "lone" 50-something lady who knew of and loved Robert Keen. :+) Although Brett's kareoke style singing was entertaining, I actually think everyone in back of us was VERY ready for us to leave. ;+]

BTW: For those who don't know, Robert Earl Keen is a Texas songwriter who is very popular in Texas, and in many, mostly southern college towns!

Since he wasn't singing until 6, and were were there 5 hours early, Sarah and I took advantage of the beautiful day, and close proximity to the down-town area, and we made our way into a few of the shops. We really fell in love with the town. A friend of mine (who is from a town very close to Brewton) had said there was little there, so our expectations were very low. We were pleasantly surprised at what we found, and Sarah and I plan to take a "girls day" and make a trip back!

I think if Brett could have joined the Robert Earl Keen band that night, he would have!
