For the most part I try to stay out of the spotlight, happy to be a supportive person while other people shine. That’s been very easy to do since I’m surrounded by so many shining stars – like *you*!
Sometimes, though, life thrusts us into situations that are anything but low key. For me that happened at Red Rocks, a beautiful open-air amphitheater in Morrison, CO formed by red sandstone cliffs.
About 45 minutes before the ABB were scheduled to appear I walked onto the stage. The crew was busy getting it set for the band so I hung out in back by the rock wall, out of the way … and noticed there was a ledge that I could climb up to and sit on if I wanted to. And I did.
You wouldn’t think a rock ledge would be comfortable, but it was. Although the sun was setting the rocks were still warm, the air was clear, the scenery was beautiful. I closed my eyes and drifted off.
A blinding light woke me up. The band was coming on and a very, very bright spotlight sweeping the stage landed directly on me. Horrified, I jumped down and scurried away, hoping no one had seen me … except for, you know, the 9,525 people in the audience. Arghhhhh.
By now there were 15 or so chairs set up for family and friends on either side the stage. I settled into one, happy to be out of the spotlight, watching my Brothers shine. Love you!
