Rosie,

I have accessed the photos on the website. Some great ones there. I will send a photo of the display case I am going to build for the hat, pick and photo's.

Thank you all.

Kurt

Yeah, same here Rosie. I get the page open but it come up with a message saying "This item might not exist or is no longer available". Who knows. Talk to you soon.

Kurt

BB,

Yes, I consider myself extremely lucky to have got tickets to both nights. I spotted the advert for the concert in a paper at work and had it planned to get on and buy the tickets the moment they opened. I did a few run throughs on the ticket sellers site and had my wife on one computer and me on another one just to make sure. Funny hey. I know a few other people that got on the minute they opened and still missed out.
The fan club pre sale, I jumped on as soon as they opened and got an extra two for the following night. Absolutley amazing seats. Goosbumps thinking about it.

Jeri,

Thanks very much for the kind congrats. I didn't take my good camera and I only have a cheap phone that doesn't take very good pictures. Rosie has been wonderful in looking after me with some great pictures.
You are very lucky you are able to access Allan so much more easily. I hope you have a good time in Florida and kick up your heels when he plays Pop A Top and Don't rock the Jukebox : )

To sign off I would just like to say that even though I got to see Allan and the band and even thought he signed my hat. The highlight of the night was when he said 'nice shirt' and handed me a guitar pick.

The surprise only came today when I was looking at photo's of Allan on the web and found a picture of him playing a gig with the same shirt on. ha ha ha ha. Sure made us smile.

Thanks again to all who made this happen, and to the good fans on this site.

Hi every one,

I, along with my family, traveled from Townsville in North Queensland for the concerts on Thursday and Friday nights.

To put it simply,  these shows were just a dream come true for us. We have been listening to Alan Jackson since he first came out. I grew up listening to him, we play some of his songs in our band and always jam his songs at our family Christmas party. He has been so unaccessible all these years due to the cost of travelling to the states, so for him and the Strayhorns to make the trip down here, it makes for a couple of nights that we will never forget.

I got lucky enough to book both shows the Friday night from the fan club. They were both good tickets the Friday night, the best of them, were second row seats. The ushers didn't seem to mind everyone standing up so I was one of the people standing right in front of the man and his band. A big thank you for the opportunity given to us by the fan club pre sale.

If there were other fan members that got some good photos from the Friday night concert could you please send them my way. I didn't have a camera and my phone didn't take any good ones. I would just like to have some good photos of the that night. It would mean a great deal to my wife and I.

Thanks to Alan Jackson and the Strayhorns, and everyone involved in making these nights the stuff dreams are made of.

Hi Rose,

I was also in the front row standing up at the Friday night concert. My brother was also standing and a bit away from me and after the show told me about your story. He was really buzzed for you and was amazed at the photo you had. My brother was one of the ones that helped you to the front. He said Allan said 'awesome' or something along those lines. We all seen him stand on the speakers to get to you. Deany said Allan's eyes really lit up when he seen you photo.

For a performer of his caliber we were absolutley amazed at how humble he was and how generous he was. This for me was in my wildest dreams only 12 months ago, now I have seen him, hold one of his picks and have a signed hat.

We spoke of you experience as we had a beer after the show and all agreed it would have been a magical moment.

Congrats to you.

Kurt
