Gone Country

Cody and I grew up during the best times of country music. Sure, there's still some good stuff out there, but nothing quite compares to the steel guitar and fiddle of the early 1990's. Because of this, we were super excited to have the chance to see Alan Jackson when he made a stop in Las Cruces on his tour. Perhaps the best part was that Cody's friend Blaine from Harlingen was there playing drums for Casey James, the opening act. (Casey was a runner-up for American Idol and has a couple of famous songs out that are playing on the radio right now.) Blaine was very generous and let us use his tickets for the show, so we had fantastic seats to see one of the members of country music royalty. Every song took me back to my childhood, and we had so much fun singing along!
