For Mother's Day I got Kristy tickets to a Loretta Lynn concert in Branson at the newly opened RFD-TV theater. Loretta Lynn is kind of Kristy's inspiration when it comes to singing, and Kristy loves to sing. So I thought that it would be important to seize this opportunity for her see her inspiration live in concert. After all Loretta is not getting any younger.
I found it kind of amusing to see all these tractors outside of the theater, especially these old Allis Chalmers which I am sure Kristy's grandpa could appreciate.
Kristy got all dolled up for me and Loretta and we headed south to Branson. As often as we have come to Branson this was the actual first known musical artist that we had come to see. I am sure Kristy would not have had it any other way. Kristy was so beautiful and so happy as we approached the theater, she was like a kid in a candy store.
The first thing we did was grab a few snap shots of Loretta's bus, this certainly started the nights experience out right.
Loretta had a couple opening acts including her youngest two daughters also known as the Lynns. They sang their hearts out but they certainly have a ways to go to fill their Momma's shoes. It was enjoyable all the same to listen to the next generation of the Lynn family.
Loretta Lynn may have some years behind her but she can still sing her heart out like she was a young girl back in the Opre for the first time. She hit the stage singing her hits that everyone knows and loves. The filled theater was a good indicator of how well she has held her fan base through the years but I must admit, I think Kristy and I were the youngest people in the audience.
After her first set of songs they brought out a very nicely decorated rocking chair and that is from where Loretta sang up until the very last set of songs for the night. I guess when you have sung as long as she has in front of audiences you have earned the right to sit on the job.
We had such a wonderful time together enjoying the genuine songs from a genuine American entertainer.
Kristy's face lit up so brightly as she watched and listened as Loretta sang her songs and cracked jokes left and right. After the concert we tried to get an autograph but unfortunately Loretta went right to her bus. We even stood outside of her bus with a handful of other hopeful fans but after a while we all realized that at her age you deserve a full nights rest and so we understood and slowly dispersed. In the end my sweetheart and I had a wonderful night together and were most pleased to share it with the First Lady of Country Music, Mrs. Loretta Lynn.
