Last week my parents came to Chicago for a few hours (literally) to see Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers at the Chicago Theater for their anniversary.
At first I thought it was going to be a comedy show. I mean, Steve Martin, sure. Oh, and I say at first... I walked into the theater, saw the stage set-up with lots of mics and a row of banjos and continued to think this until we were in our seats chatting and Dad mentioned Steve Martin played the banjo. Hmmm... then it clicked. Dad even asked why I thought there was a band set-up on stage and I thought it was the opener.
But that bluegrass was amazing! I have a dream of someday having a hammock and while I was sitting there at the concert I just kept envisioning sitting in a hammock having this band play around me. I'm a fan.
Come right over, play the mandolin, and sing me a song.
Dad scored us seats in the fourth row. We were literally in the orchestra area.
Happy 32nd Anniversary to Mom & Dad and happy crashing party to me ;)
I like to think I earned my keep by taking lots of photos of the two of them ;)
Believe it or not, this was my first time inside the Chicago Theater!
