Joni Goes to the Alan Jackson Concert

The Alan Jackson concert was to be on May 1 but it was postponed until May 6 because Alan had to go to the funeral of his friend George Jones. It was Alan Jackson's first time on the Island. My Dad had given me the concert ticket for an early Christmas gift. I was happy to get the ticket. I went with Brenda and her boyfriend and her parents. We went out for supper at the Oval in Summerside. The meal was great. Then we went down to the rink. Kris MacDonald was the M.C. for the evening. He did a great job. It was at the Credit Union Place in Summerside, PEI.

My Mom came to my apartment to help me get ready, and at 5:00 PM Brenda picked me up. There were a lot of people there. The seats were great. I enjoyed the concert a lot. I took lots of pictures -- some from where I was sitting and some up close. Alan did a lot of great songs. A few of his songs stood out. One was Where I Come From, and he substituted places on the island for the original places. I also liked the song Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning. The music had a good sound. I was talking to Brenda about all of his songs. He did the song Remember When. This song is for the people in the states that lost their lives on 09-11-2001. We will remember.
