    Momma Rock Responds!

    This was sent to me by my Mom this morning, Thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share.

    Hi Bob,
    Been thinking a lot about you out on the road in this unbelievable weather. Cudos to you for your response to those whinning about not being able to make it.You wouldn't have won if you cancelled. I remembered this morning while I was excercising and listening to Mr. Cash on my Ipod about the time Dad and I went to see George Jones and Tammy Wynette at Meadowbrook. It was late Sept. and in the 20s. We went in our hats, gloves and warm coats. The warm up act played, then Tammy and then the warm up act again. About 10pm people started to leave and as they did we kept moving up closer-never even thinking about going home (although we probably should have,because who knows what was going on there.) No show Jones finally came on about 11pm and by then we were about 3 rows back and saw one hell of a show. We went home raving about the show and always had something to talk about when George Jones was in the news. We still are fans to this day. At least he showed up-probably drunk and all. And as far as refunding the money-that's over and above the call of duty, but that shows your character and that is something I'm so proud of. Looking forward to seeing you In March.

    Love, Mom

    ....... And George played until 1am and Meadowbrook shut the lights down!!!!

There is nothing more badass than you updating this blog. Thank you so much for giving us the scoop directly from your keyboard to our eyeballs. Safe travels. Can't wait to see you on the road!

We had an experience with DAC a couple of years ago and it took awhile for him to take the stage, even after he did come out and then left again not to return for a few hours later. though that is typical for him. lol Anyhow Next time He came around I declined going and that time he never even showed. lol So I am glad to see you never let your fans down and put on 1 helluva a show. Never disappointed! I hope the rest of the tour goes smoother for you and your band and crew. God Bless!
