Sister Hazel In Tampa - Pics & Such

We got a late start an therefor missed the Buccaneer part of the even . We enjoyed the show. We arrived in the midst of Swan Dive and ended up standing next to the sound board. Because of our location I started looking for the set list between songs early in the show. After the encore I ran around the other side and got the set list. Afterwards we got Ken to autograph it for me and he took pics with my boys and my grandson. We had a blast. I found out on the way up no one, aside from Lisa and myself, in our group had seen ANY concert before. So we had concert virgins not just Hazel virgins. In our group (oldest to youngest) was Myself (Carlton),Lisa, Tina (my step daughter), Benjamin (My oldest son, 14), Hamilton(12), Jefferson(5), Chandler(grandson,4) And Zoe (Granddaughter, 2 months). Below are pics I have. When we got the pics and autograph from Ken I was going to remind him where we had met before ( at a deli in Ybor the afternoon before the February show, one of the things we discussed then was the fact that Hurricane Charley destroyed our home). I figured he'd say something like 'o yeah the deli ...' but before I could even get the words out of my mouth Ken asked if we were still displaced. I was floored. Never expected him to remember what we talked about and all. I mean assuming he only had one sammich in Ybor before the show I figgered he might remember that, but the details of our conversation and recognizing me on sight...WOW! It was really cool too as my middle son Hamilton had just asked me if I thought Ken remembered me. Now I have the concert downloaded (thanx to my friend, good buddy and lifelong pal, Matt (see Matt that sounded sincere didn't it)(<===if you're wondering what that is all about go to the Hazelnuts Site and read the thread about downloading the Tampa show in the general forum) and am listening to it again as I Type.
