The NC State Fair is in town and we are working
it. I have had the honor of working security for the entertainers this
week and I can now honestly say I know how the security at Montalvo felt.
The fans are almost as wild as we are yet it didn't appear
that any of the entertainers so far (except Brad Paisley) had fan club
members present. I say so far because we have 38 Special this weekend
and are expecting a mob.
I have been talking to the entertainment organizer
about getting the DB for next year. She doesn't know a lot about the band
so every chance I have, I talk about the Brothers with the other
bands. Cheap shots I know but hey I'm there, they can't kick
me out and I want the DB here. I have been pleasantly pleased
(yet not surprised) to hear the bands say they not only like the DB, but
know some of the guys and have lots of respect for them. I talked to the violin player of Yankee Grey and told him that I have
only ever met two really good violin players, John McFee and him. He
looked at me and said "It is an honor to be put in the same sentence as John
McFee." I'm sorry to say I don't remember his name and I can't read the
autograph but he was nice and obviously very smart.
I won't bore you with all of the details on these
bands but I will list them and if you want to know more about them, e-mail
me. I'm working this weekend and probably won't get a break until Monday
but I will answer all e-mails. There was Sherrie Austin, Yankee Grey,
Kentucky Headhunters, Coasters, Brad Paisley, The Wilkinsons and 38
Special.
I haven't got to order the new music yet (19 hour
days) but thankfully I have a most wonderful sister (Ann) who takes care of me
and ordered it for me. I can't wait to get it and hopefully next year we
will be taking care of and rocking to the best band in the world at our state
fair like some of you other lucky members get to.
Take care, Helen
