Amazing

Amazing. That's all I have to say. Absolutely amazing.

For quite some time now I have been following Andrew Peterson. Somehow, and I don't really know how, I heard his music and LOVED it. I can't really describe it, kinda mellow, kinda folksy - but totally amazing. Anyway, a few weeks ago Curt called to tell me he was looking at the Andrew Peterson website and he was going to be in LR doing a concert on Nov. 23. "Great...but I have a test in Med Chem at 8 am on Tuesday." I studied hard last week, but still...didn't think I should go. You all know me, school comes first. Well, today...school didn't come first. I went to the concert and now I'm a little buzzed from it. (In a good way!)

Here's the line-up for all you fans out there. *crickets* I know most of you haven't heard his music, but I recommend giving it a listen. You might be moved to tears like I was at the concert and am on a regular basis while driving to his tunes. (You all know I have ALOT of time to listen to tunes in the car!)

Canaan bound
Carried along
Alaska or Bust (the story to this song is AWESOME)
Let there be light

After these songs he let his band play a few of their own songs. His piano man, Ben played two songs and his guitarist, Andy Gullahorn also played two. Andy played one about how to write the perfect country song that had the whole audience laughing out loud. I'd love to get his album, I think I'd really enjoy it. But that's for another day. Then Andrew came back and played a few more.

Moments of truth (I didn't know this one, so that may not be the title)
Many roads (Ditto for the name. Never heard it but it brought tears to my eyes. Totally moving.)
Loose change
wedding song for Adam (a song he wrote for a college friends wedding)
Family man
Lay me down (totally ROCKED!!!)

Encore: (I'd never heard any of these before, so titles are a guess. loved them all)
Queen of Iowa
new song from his next album - ??? name
I believe

The only regret I have about the concert is that Curt couldn't be there to enjoy it with me. It just wasn't the same without him. Hopefully, next time AP is in the vicinity, Curt will be able to enjoy it with me.

It was a good night. Now, Med Chem is calling my name. Gotta buckle down and STUDY!!!
