Alan at the Ryman - March 2014?

[Bostonhonkytonk]

Last year I flew down from Boston to attend the charity concert at the Ryman that benefits the Color Rectal charity Denise (and Alan) are involved in.   I think he holds it every year & I'm planning to go again.   Hope they announce the date soon! 

Fingers crossed!

Would love to attend this  if he does it again...Will certainly be looking for the date!   Appreciate your bringing this to our attention.

If I see it and you miss it, I'll send you a message (and vice versa, please).   I think they released the date in January.  I remember taking the day off of work so I could log on and get tix. 

I lost my job after 15 years and need to look for a new one.  I'd like to know when the concert is so I can tell prosepctive employers I need the time off to go to Nashville.   This work stuff is really interfering with my life!  haha!

Thanks for noting this. I hope your job  goes well for you in 2014

I hope this happens again. we drove there  for the last one.. It was Great! a whole concert & the money went to the CR Cancer  Fund.

Nice!  Thanks for posting the photos.  I still haven't posted mine yet.

Hopefully they'll announce soon if he's going to hold the show again this year.   Last year my friend and I spent time in Nashville and drove to Memphis to visit Graceland and Sun Studios.  It was an awesome trip and I have a few things I still want to do due to time constraints last time.   Can't wait!

Boston,
I could be wrong but I think last year was the first time A. J. had done the show for colon cancer at the Ryman. If he had I would have been there, unless I miss seeing it on the tour page. If he does it again I certainly want to go again. It was for a good cause and it was also a marvelous concert. Let me know if you hear about it. Thanks,

[Bostonhonkytonk]

Looks like you're probably right.  I read that it was the 5th annual benefit concert so I assumed Alan performed at it every year.   Hopefully he does again this year. 

The article I read was dated January 17, 2013 so I'm assuming if he decides to host it again this year, the announcement will be soon.  Fingers crossed....

Fingers crossed!!

it would be a thrill to see that concert but I am semi-handicapped and flying takes a wheel chair waiting for the flight and it's probably more than I can afford if I could negotiate it. 

I am jealous of those of you who can go.  Give us a great review please!
Enjoy it.  Alan is always so GREAT!!!!!

I thought they have it every year but maybe  different performers   every year

I think they have different performers every year.  That was a great concert!  Had fun with Dot and Betty and friends. Dee you and Bill were there weren't you?
