My First Real Concert.

Last July 4th. my momma and older sister talked me into looking online for Neil Diamond tickets. Since Neil is and has been as long as I have been alive her favorite singer on the planet, The tickets had to be in her hands. Momma wonted me to go with her, but I couldn't with out a guilty consensus get tickets with out one more for my sister, who is nuts about Neil as momma. So a little a week later the tickets were in mommas hands. From July through September momma and my sister were so jazzed that he was coming to Portland, they would say things like "we're going too see Neil Diamond", "he's coming", or when a Neil song would in ear shot "pretty soon".

The concert was set to be on September 22, 2007 at the Rose Garden, so when we were told that the date was postponed to January 8, 2009 we were more than bummed out. When yesterday came around in the car we were and on the way we were. While on the way Mom said she had checked Neil's tour schedule and saw that he was in two cities where we lived before and now he's here in Portland. This convinced her that Neil was trying to fine her.

There were many high lights of the concert for us, first Neil's voice was still phenomenal, that all the ladies their loved. Second the three of us had really good seats. Third I loved the lighting displays. Another high light for me was seeing momma so happy doing something she's wanted to do before she leaves the earth as long as I've been alive.
