My Great Weekend and Ringo Concert

[GW Drums]

My wife and I got to go this weekend to Nashville ,Tn for the Ringo Starr show. It was our 18th wedding anniversary. I had not enjoyed myself that much in quite a while. The band was great and they ROCKED!! Anyone who says Ringo can't play has issues........he was great!! It took me a few minutes to get over the fact that I was in the same room as a Beatle !! I know it sounds corny (especially since I'm in my 40's) but he seemed larger than life when he walked out on the stage. It was a night of hits from some great classic rock artists and Edgar Winter blew me away!! I wanted to take pictures but the Wildhorse Saloon didn't allow it.......CRAP!! But I did have a great stroke of luck, Gregg Bissonette was walking across the main floor and I had the opportunity meet him-he was very,very nice. My wife took a pic of us together,what a great night!!

As if that wasn't enough, we went Fork's Drum Closet to look around.I saw the Sonor Steve Smith signature kit (#38) that he used at his recent clinic......WOW!! Lot's of great stuff!!! Well my wife got me a Ludwig 6 1/2 x14 supra-phonic . SHE"S THE BEST!!!!!!

I have posted a couple of pics. If you get the opportunity to see the Ringo show,DO IT!!!! You won't be sorry!!

Sounds as if you saw the same show that I did. Edgar was the man, huh? He blew this place away. Great pick on Ringo's part for sure. Nice being able to meet Gregg. He does pound the drums and cymbals doesn't he. And wow your wife with a great purchase. Today being his birthday and all, Peace and Love. Congrats on the anniversary.

Peace and love. It was very much like what you described and he played a little over 2 hours. Edgar was great!! I also enjoyed Billy Squier-what a great guitarist. Gregg was great. It was a great night and I hope I get a chance to see him once more. BTW,thanks!!
