We got to ride in the back on the way home from Gma’s after school – he’d pop the clutch in front of the house and we’d scream as we bounced around. Amazing none of us got hurt – how DID we live through our childhood without a gazillion safety devices?
First concert – John Denver when I was 10. Sang every word along with him. Wanted to be onstage. Changed the words and sang “Thank God I’m a country girl” – even though I wasn’t a country girl. Good memories.

I rode more miles in my dad’s truck than I ever have in a car. :) Driving it taught me to drive without power steering. I cried when it finally went to pickup truck heaven!

I am trying to remember an even like that and the only things I can think of were GA Camp when I felt called to ministry……but I was marked by music as well. And I not only saw Barbara Mandrell, I interviewed her for the school paper! My uncle played steel guitar for the Statlers and they toured together.

I guess when my daddy adopted me. WAS REALLY huge and then I went to a Carpenter concert afterwards (yes I am that old) and I actually met Karen. Superstar still remains one of my favorites.
