This past Friday, I had the incredible joy of attending the Avett Brothers concert in the new Tuscaloosa Amphitheater. First, the Avett Brothes were absolutely amazing and I am so so glad that I got to experience them live. Wonderful, wonderful show. Secondly, the new amphitheater was so nice. Good job Tuscaloosa on stepping it up.

Loving life at the concert

Over the past year or so, I have come to have an immense appreciation for true musical artists. And by this, I mean anyone who has a naturally gifted voice or the ability to play a real instrument. It seems that with the new generation of technology, virtually anyone or anything can be made into some sort of melody or "song." For many years, I just went along with the trend since my music knowledge was far below average. However, thanks to my dear friends, my musical library is increasing in depth which leads me now to expect more from artists. It is ironic that if an artist belts out a note or merely carries a tune, it is slightly surprising.

Trent and I tried to take some videos at the concert to send to Chuck down in Peru. They aren't the best quality in the world (especially from my poor little blackberry), but you can still see/hear how great Avett was. Enjoy!
