John Mayer, Sheryl Crow & the Zoo

Posted by Angus Nelson On October - 15 - 2006

Last weekend we had an incredibly full day. It was off to Nashville for a fun-filled day for all.

It started with the Nashville Zoo. We saw warthogs, giraffe, monkeys, elephants, spiders, snakes, a sloth, birds and many, many other members of God’s creatures. My favorite were probably the meerkats – very clever little buggers.

Samantha and Sydney weren’t too excited about the bird sanctuary… this was a place you could actually feed and touch some specific birds. The caretaker told me that some of the birds actually enjoy freaking people out. Samantha was no exception as one prodeeded to fly right on top of her head and started to gnaw on her sunglasses. Just when she had gotten confident enough to feed them and began feeling comfortable, this fella had to get her squeeling and nervously giggling. Poor Samantha became great entertainment to many. ; )

Of Course my camera was not far away to capture the scene.

Later that day, we headed off to the John Mayer and Sheryl Crow concert. We had decent seats near the front of the grassy hill and remebered to bring extra blankets for the chilly evening. Mayer was amazing, as usual, belting out some fantastic blues numbers.

Sheryl Crow was not what I had expect though… I really didn’t care to see her. But that changed when she put on a really classy show, plucked away on the bass guitar and then brought out hearthrob KEITH URBAN – the ladies went wild!!!!

They sang the duet made famous by Tom Petty & Stevie Nix, “Stop Dragging My Heart Around”… It was a very amazing.

I love live music… I don’t know what it is, but I love it.
