A Return to Pooh Corner!!

Over the weekend, my husband and I saw Kenny Loggins in concert.  We were center eleven rows back...great seats.  He is one of my favorite artists and I love him in concert because he interacts a lot with the audience and shares stories.  The story in the below video is one that he told.

Emotionally, I began to panic when I was closed in and felt like I was completely surrounded by people and startled at sudden talking or noise.  I also was really irritated with the woman behind me who was with a bunch of other women.  She first put her handbag on the back of my chair and I accidently knocked it off.  Then, she put her feet on my chair and I accidently sat on them when I moved back in my chair. Then, she grabbed on to the side of my chair and I purposely leaned on it. The final straw, even though I didn't say anything was when she keep hitting my hair while clapping...sheesh.

However, I was surprised and frustrated by my breathing and stamina.  I wanted to sing and dance, but my body didn't cooperate.  I wonder if the other concerts being outdoors helped.  But, this time, I kept coughing and was exhaused and winded midway through the two hour concert.  I slept ALL day the next day.  I am again reminded that my pneumonia last year was serious and that I am still recovering and need to be gentle with myself...But, I want to sing and dance!!!

It is a victory that I wanted to do this and I got through the evening without an emotional melt down.

The concert seemed too short as there were many songs that he didn't sing that I wanted to hear, but I don't think he or I would have lasted much longer.  One difficulty was his in ear monitor which wasn't working properly, so his voice was off key at parts or he had difficulty singing.  I hope others knew that and didn't attribute it to his singing because he still sounds fantastic. (And is still very cute!! I almost touched his hand.  I was close enough when he came into the audience)  I had a great time.
