I have to do a "Post" about our evening with the Pincomb's, Russell and Sally.
What a blast! Sally had told me about this two woman show that comes every year to the "Grand Theater" called "Always... Patsy Cline". Now Doug has gone to a few Melodrama's on our little group trips to Jackson or West Yellowstone, and even made it thru them with a smile on his face but still....not his favorite thing. However, when Sally and I were on our hiking trip this summer and she told me about the Patsy Cline play, I thought Doug might enjoy it because he really likes Patsy Cline's songs. For those of you who don't know, Patsy rose to stardom with her hits songs like "Crazy", "I Fall to Pieces", "Walkin after midnight", "Sweet Dreams", " Three Cigarettes in An Ashtray" [OK I admit, I had never heard of that one before]. She performed at the Grand Ole Opry, American Bandstand, and on the Johnny Cash show. Her career was cut short when she was killed in a fatal Plane crash in 1963. Her songs however live on as does her story. To see a clip and short picture bio of the real Patsy Cline click here: In 1985 her life was the subject of the feature film "Sweet Dreams" starring Jessica Lang.
This play was amazing. The story line, the music, the actresses, the band, everything was just perfect. Russell saw to it that we had front and center seats which were just fabulous!!! I loved the evening even more as I could see that Doug was really enjoying it.
Doug and I do not go out with people very much other than to group parties, so I was a little worried about it. I told Sally I did not have a clue what to expect. Sally said "no worries... Russ and I are entertainers". And that... they were, Doug could not have gotten a word in edge wise if he would have had something to say as Sally and Russ true to her word kept us entertained.
We had many firsts that night.
- 1st double date in probably 15 years or more!
- 1st time sitting in back seat of a car on a date.
- 1st time to use valet service
- 1st time to eat together at "Macaroni Grill"
- 1st time in a long time my sides hurt from laughing [at Russ and Sally]
Hopefully it won't be the last time we do something with the Pincomb's. They are great people and we had a fantastic time.
However, Russ, we'll pass on the "Messiah" Christmas sing along at the Baptist Church in SLC.
It sounds great, but I just can't visualize Doug there. He has to worry about his heart now you know. Sounds like a little too wild for us. But thanks for trying to convince us to go! Love you guys!!!
Reminder: This is Sally
