Leah Marie, Lee Roy Parnell painted SWFLA red last Saturday night, turned my clock back to 17
I really do just love everything about that man, his music, his style, the way he treats his fans like Family..one in a million..
Kevin got hung up at work, so we breezed in a little later than we would have liked...
We r so lucky to have a little Blues Honky Tonk out East Ft Myers, last time we were there, young Berry graced the stage..
As we walked from the parking lot, the owner of the club was playing Soulshine loud and proud :reddancer: with his band 🙂
Tommy Lee's a good ol boy from VA, great taste in music and runs such a fine establishment , just off on an old country road/ horse county.
Turned out to be the coldest November 1st on record in Lee County, perfect for my hot blood, gave me a chance to shake my $ maker without fainting from the heat lol.
Kevin had such a much needed good time, he's been working so hard, good to see him and Lee Roy smiling ,sharing stories about the kids. Lee Roy has a new baby boy Jack, he must be somewhere between 2 & 3 years old by now. LR was glowing , nothing like a baby boy.
Solo, no 2nd guitar, which spoiled the hell out of me with non stop slide ..kind of like twin guitars, triplets..he's so smooth , he transistions from gorgeous Country slide to hard Southern Rock ( u know, rock rock lol..I love that) and that West Texas Swing..oh..
Good God, LR can play some T Bone Shuffle make your blues melt away into the heavens...
and Duane & Dickey....My personal favorites..
I know LR saw I had a touch of grief on my face, much as my Joy to be there had to be showing.
Don't know about anyone else, but I can feel the goofiest smile on my face when I hear great slide
It is a sort of grief , don't Ya'll think? to never have another Allman Brothers Band LIVE to look forward to..
Thanks to LR, lifted me with just the slightest tease from LAFE, just enuf for me and no one else, it even went over Kevin's head, and forget the Country crowd, they were in HEAVEN singing along with every pure LRP song he could charm the crowd with.
Big husky Country Cowboys singing loud and proud while pretty little Country girls danced, a few with eyes shining with a stray tear here and there , as LR wove his hits ino a lovely musical quilt, I tell you people, we had us a time .
As we all grow older, responsibilities seem to bear down..
I know I am blessed to still have my holy Irish terror of a Mom to care for, God love her, she still shops at Publix every week, with a little help from me....and K Mart, she loves KMart, she's Bklyn thru & thru...I have to take her to KMart for her Nathan hot dog , make her smile .
I don't think we realize how much energy we steal from the musicians we love, I know LR show gave me the strength to take Mama out for dinner Sunday, Publix, KMart..the whole deal, with and an inexplicable good feeling that wont go away anytime soon
Oh did I need that show..and Gregg tix...Gregg tix are in the mail *happy sigh* ...LR 's show will carry me thru till New Years...then my concert dreams depend on GAF start the New Year off right..
God bless the musicians, l just love them..that's all there is to it...
