We saw him in concert Sunday.
Man, I love his shows! I love that he stays true to the big band. There were 14 musicians on stage at once. And, that guys has got some soul.
It really is the perfect place to have a concert. The stage is outdoors surrounded by some of the most beautiful gardens ever. It is a smaller venue with general admission seating. It's intimate and every spot is great.
It has been sweltering hot here for weeks. Of course, it was broken with a torrential downpour just before Lyle took the stage.
I was lucky. The umbrellas in front of me lined up just perfectly. I was still able to see great.
I'm sporting a Coleman Rain Suit. Sold for camping. Used for concert.
By the way, does anyone ever look good when they hold a camera 2 feet in front of them for a self-pic? Serious. If you know a trick, let me know.

Down the row there is another great woman. Cracks me up. Someone referred to her as "Julie the Cruise Director" at this event. So fit! Every group of friends needs a person to corral them. She's that (and so much more) for this group. Want to know something REALLY cool about her? She used to ride horses on a ranch in Wyoming! Now, that is one cool mama!  |
Back to Lyle.
He is cool.
He is cool.
There's something to be said about a band that wears suits (and best dress) to perform.
What a dynamic combination of Country, Blues, Gospel and Jazz.
His band is just as talented as him. Amazing musicians.

Have you heard "If I Had a Boat"? One of my favorites! If you haven't, check it out now. You will love it, too! Promise.

Seriously Heather, I thought I knew practically everything about you. I had NO idea that you were a fan of Lyle Lovett. You think you know a person after 26 years of friendship, but every now and then you get a surprise like this. Looks like a fun concert despite the rain. You guys looked like you were having a great time! Oh, and that self picture of you and Bill looks terrific. What are you talking about?
