Hope y'all had a "Good Time" last night.  I thought for sure there would be a review this morning.  Terry's waiting on y'all to give it, I'm sure. 
I'm packed and ready to go.  Hope to see y'all in St. Augustine.  Sue, I'm gonna send you my cell #, Terry has it already.  We're gonna go down to St. Augustine in the afternoon.  Y'all give me a call!  I won't have access to the computer this weekend.

I finally post, we din't get home intil about 3 Am today, stopped to get gas etc.. so tired

Alan and the Strayhorns were really good. My husband even commented he like this show better than  any he had been to w/me.

I must say, the venue is pretty nice but  Alan's performances  He is always Great. my hubby just got to hear the  Mercury song, he loved it..I love some set lists better than others but Always love Alan !!
This show was much more uptempo and people were singing along and just having fun.. We talked to people sitting by Us and I told them all I knew about our Guy Alan !
So good to see Terry and know she got there ok.I went up front to give her a  mothely hug ha! She was up with friends doing the signs etc.. .I am exhausted today, but will write a review later. Patti nice to meet you, even if we were not close  to you upfront.
Our row was 6, but we enjoyed it this time as hubby made a few photos. He liked where we were.
It was so funny an older man in front of us, just danced and danced to Alan's Music. he was having a ball by himseft. he could really dance. lol
We ate before the show but we didn't run into Terry or patti. Will try and write a review later w/photos but my Son is visiting w/babies. Terry great to see you again girl!
Take care all of you and Yes! Alan put on a fantastic Concert. So many younger people was singing along in front of us, and really enjoying the music.. The uptempo ones seem to really get the younger people liking his music more..Loved all the songs myself
One thing I do remember Alan said as he was about to leave the Concert, that reminded me of my dad saying this. Alan waved and said "Be Sweet". he also said he had been fishing that day and went down the ST Johns river. which is near us
Alan and theStrayhorns , thanks again for another great Concert, we really enjoyed it!!!!
People were having a ball.
See you girls at St Augustine  if we feel up to it... I had ashtma ( allergy season)last night, but we will definitely See Alan at St Augustine if at all possibe. Terry take care, Did you see Louann, we missed her.. Loved seeing your signs in front of us!!!
Later Gators, Jerrie aka Artsy

HI Jeri_MS   I thought that was a great review.  I am so glad to hear that ALAN is having fun and everyone coming to him are too.   I'm glad you and your husband had a great time.  When ALAN said BE SWEET it meant alot to you and what a great saying.  What a wonderful world this would be if people did that.   Take Care       nelle

What a nice sunny day!

 A nice beginning for an Alan Jackson concert, in Hollywood, Florida’s Hard Rock Casino!
  
 First thing we see are Alan’s trucks parked!  Plus the big White Limo!
I must admit, it’s quiet a thrill to see!
You know The Man and the Strayhorns have arrived!
Acting silly, I ran to have my photo made by Alan
On the trucks!

We came early to see if we saw any fellow Fans but we didn’t, so we decided to walk around and just find something to eat until time to pick up our tickets, at will call.

The guards at the venue were super nice and told us where and how to get to our seats. They were Very nice about us taking our camera in etc.

When we were seated, we saw Terry down front Talking to the people, so I made my way to speak To her and say hello. We were on row six further back, but a nice view!

No opening, but we were thrilled to hear Alan and The Strayhorns for the whole concert!

I was excited to see Alan and the Strayhorns, the first time since my Meet and Greet, which was the most wonderful experience of my life, in Mississippi my home state! A long drive, but what a nice experience! Unforgetable for sure!

When the countdown started I knew it was time for Alan to perform. He got a great welcome and the audience seemed to be everyone from children to older adults, just having a great time!
The music was more up tempo than usual, it seemed. So people were dancing in the aisles, especially one cute little boy the photographer focused on. The older man in front of us was Dancing & enjoying himself alone. The crowd was
Excited! Alan sang a mixture of older songs and new ones. I liked the new ones but my husband Really enjoyed the older ones. He enjoyed the Mercury Blues encore! My favorite always is “The Bluesman” and “Where Were You.” He did “a Woman’s Love” which I really love. Also, “Like Red On A Rose”, LOVE IT! Among many others, such as “Livin’ on Love”, “Country Boy”, "Good Time"
 “Summertime Blues”, to name a few! The crowd grew louder with each song, it seemed. Alan and the crowd seemed to be having a great time, I know we were!

Alan was wearing a pretty green shirt and his holey jeans! He and the band always look nice. He told the crowd “he had had been fishing that day” and “went up the St Johns”which is near us.

Just a great up-tempo Concert again, but wonderful to see Alan and the Strayhorns!
Wonderful to see another Great Alan Jackson Concert in Florida!
Thanks for another lovely evening of Great Country Music!

That was a great review Jeri.  Nice pictures.  I don't think Alan could ever do a bad concert.  Every one that I have been too, have been great concerts.
