It just never gets old

Yesterday was a GREAT day! It started at 5:30 in the morning and ended right after midnight, but I got to do so much fun stuff. I already posted about going to Carrie's party. After a short rest, I went back to the Opry for the free plaza party. Kate and Kacey Coppola from "Can You Duet" (If you watched that show, they were the duet that Naomi Judd was so mean to), and songwriter Jeffery Steele performed. He has written songs for Rascal Flatts, Montgomery Gentry, Faith Hill, Craig Morgan, and many more. Kate and Kacey signed autographs and talked to fans for a while after their performance. I watched them interact with people while waiting in line to go into the Opry, and they seemed like very genuine people. I actually got a chance to chat with them between the Opry shows. We discussed how mean Naomi was to them...I was very impressed with their friendliness. I will definitely have to check more of their music out.

I don't care how many times I get to go to the Opry or how many times I get to see Carrie perform live, it just never gets old. I love it! The Opry lineup was full of big acts tonight. Jimmy Dickens, Lorie Morgan, Trace Adkins, Charlie Daniels, Little Big Town, and Carrie were all there. I had a great time, of course...how could you not with a lineup like that! I finally figured out how to work my camera in manual mode in the darkness of a concert . My pictures turned out amazing...I'm in love with that camera! Here are a few of the many...See for yourself!

Trace Adkins




Charlie Daniels...yes he played "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"...that dude can play the fiddle!


Little Big Town - they are in my top list of favorite artists...I said it before when I reviewed the back in December, but they harmonize beautifully and can work and engage a crowd as good as it gets!


Little Jimmy Dickens came out to kiss Carrie. She is only 5'2"ish....look how far she had to stoop so he could kiss her!


ACM Entertainer of the Year...Carrie Underwood


Her famous nose scrunch







Today I am meeting an old college friend for lunch, the heading out to the Celebrity Softball Challenge. Stay tuned...

Wow! I'm so glad you're having so much fun. You deserve it!!

I can't wait to hear what settings you used. I can't seem to shoot indoors unless I'm surrounded my windows. Great job! Paris would be so proud. ;)
Keep the updates coming.
