Love Them Rubber Biscuits...

We didn't actually plan it this way, but after a long first day of floor staining, we needed to get out of the stinky house and take a break. We had gotten tickets to a concert that we couldn't wait to see and they have a restaurant there, and dinner and music was just what we needed! Where? The House Of Blues at Downtown Disney! So, one center cut pork chop, some wild mushroom pasta and a piece of chocolate mousse cheescake later it was almost show time....







Oh...didn't I tell you what the concert was? Here's a hint.....


Hmmm...don't know yet? How about these brothers in this cop car....anything?





No...not these brothers.....



These Brothers.....!





What a great show...all of the classic Blues Brothers music and some new stuff thrown in. The show was Sold Out and I was surprised to see a much younger crowd...guess the parents of those kids passed along the Blues Legacy! They were selling the new CD after the show and Zee Blues (Jim Belushi) was signing each and every one...very cool guy. I think seeing this sold out crowd would have made Jake very happy...






It was so great to see Dan Ackroyd in his Elwood Blues role..lots of dancing and harmonica playing and he never took off his sunglasses..not once! Elwood's not moving quite as fast as he used too, but he is one slick guy.






If you've got an extra minute, and you're a Blues Brothers fan, click on a couple of the songs in the player. They did them all and it was the 1980's all over again...okay, okay, I'm old...whatever. :)

A woman once asked Elwood if he and Jake were police officers. Elwood answered..."No Ma'm...we're musicians."

OMG, why didn't you call? Why didn't you take me with you? How wonderful to have seen them! Tell Elroy I'm not moving as fast as I did back then either!

You go to see the best concerts! The last concert I went to was Prince in New Orleans, 1984. Oh no it wasn't...it was Rodney Crowell up in Billings, Montana, 1992. My husband had won the tickets from a radio station. Thank goodness the tickets were free, that's all I can say. lol

I turned on the radio the other day and Jesse's Girl was playing. Naturally, I thought of YOU! Great song, eh?

They were a favorite when I was in high school (and John Belushi was Dan Ackroyd's partner--guess I'm old.)
