Collin Raye Concert at the Warren County Fair

This week I will be posting about the concerts that took place at this years Warren County Fair!

The Tuesday of Fair was Collin Raye.  His stop at our fair was part of his BIG 25 Tour.  To see his hits and other discography CLICK HERE.

I may not be the biggest country music fan but I appreciate musicians and artists from all genres.

I worked mostly backstage that night and didn't see each song that was performed but it was a FUN night that is for sure!  Here is a photo of him and I.  He was super nice!



 Here is another photo from the one side of the stage.  The sound was great in the building that night.
He sang a lot of his hits and some tribute and cover songs from some of the artists he held dear such as Glenn Frey and Merle Haggard.

Many weddings that took place in the 90s featured one or more of Collin Raye's songs that is for sure.

He's a great storyteller as well!  A very pleasant guy with an interesting stage presence.

Below is one of the many videos of his.

Life Has Been Moving Too Fast...


Life has been moving too fast the last month or more!  I wanted to check in before being offline again for another almost 2 weeks!  I have a LOT on tap over the next two weeks including the Warren County Fair.  


If you type in CONCERT in the search bar you will see that I not only enjoy going to concerts when I am able - I also help with the entertainment during our local county fair.  This year we have 3 solid acts!  Collin Raye on Tuesday, Home Free on Wednesday, and Little Texas on Thursday!  


After the fair is over I will surely update you on the shows and hopefully have some photos to go along with the stories.  Personally I am MOST excited about Home Free.  The first photo I posted was of Home Free, the Collin Raye, then Little Texas!


In other news - Paco is trucking along eventho he has ongoing health issues.  Once fair is over we will start tweaking his Predisone Meds because he's been on a high dosage for his ITP/IHMA Immune issues for close to 2 years it has now caused him to develop steroid induced Cushings. Next step is to do an extremely slow tappering of the steriods down to a lower mg per day.  The last time we did this it didn't work but that was nearly 2 years ago and it was an instant tweak in meds.  The vet - who has diagnosed him - and has been great since - has worked with us to make sure his blood levels are in check.  We will ALL be monitoring Paco's changes while trying to minimize the mg's of steroids per day over 6 month increments to make sure his immune system doesn't bottom out again while trying to also combat the Cushings issues.  I've said it before and I will say it again and again...Paco is more of a fighter than I will EVER be!  Every day we have him in our lives is a blessing!
