ACOUSTIC JAM AT THE BAGDAD-A BLAST!
We hit the road and had a blast at the acoustic jam at the Bagdad Theater in Portland, OR. October being BATTERED WOMEN’S AWARENESS MONTH, it was a
benefit with proceeds going to the Shepard’s Door which helps women and children.
Our “Mississippi brother”, STEVE AZAR was performing, so it was a show Jerry and I couldn’t miss!
STEVE HOLY, STEVE AZAR, SARA BUXTON, ASHLEY MOORE and buddy JESSE CAIN, all performed.
STEVE Azar took us to Mississippi and we rocked Delta style, Steve Holy was surprised during his performance of , “Brand New Girlfriend”. Sarah Buxton and Ashley Monroe performed songs that had people cheering and crying...
When Jerry and I got to town, Steve and the guys were next door to the theater having dinner, so I walked in and asked, loudly and with a drawl, “Is there some guy here from Mississippi?” After the hugs and hello’s… Jerry and I joined Jason, Mark, Steve and a whole table of people who were nice to meet. We chit-chatted and had fun catching up until it was show time.
Steve said he has been working and had been running on no sleep, but he looked great and was excited about the new video for the single “You Don’t Know a Thing” premiering on http://www.cmt.com/ last week. You can view the video on CMT anytime, type in Steve Azar, click and go!
.….I apologized to Jason for not bringing him any marbles :) from the Marble Store here in Astoria…(He loved that place when they were in Astoria) and Mark was same sweet Mark.
Joe Azar (brother/manager guy!) wasn’t there, so it was a bummer that we missed seeing him, but it was just great to see everyone else again...
"You Don’t Know A Thing," was co- written by Azar and Radney Foster and is the debut single from Azar’s forthcoming CD, INDIANOLA scheduled for release in early 2007 on Dang/Midas Records.
"The song speaks about making sacrifices in order to achieve your goals and that until you've experienced life and all of its ups and downs, you really don’t know a thing. Azar felt John Daly's legendary rise to fame as a pro-golfer was the perfect example of the song’s philosophy and recruited his friend to appear in the video. The video concept is symbolic of Daly’s climb to success, wrapped around a solid performance by Azar." www.steveazar.com

(We just seemed to notice, after looking through pictures that he seems to wear this particular one to concerts....Steve gave him this one last time they were in town. "Damn The Money" is a favorite song off Steve's last album- time for another shirt though!! ha,ha; Ashley Monroe, Sonja and Sarah Buxton; Sonja and Steve Holy)
