You hear your favorite entertainer is coming to your town; they will be performing in concert. You have to get tickets. What a rush that is to be part of that whole scenario. Whether you go online for your ticket or you go down and wait in line for hours to get that ticket or you’re lucky enough to have someone just give you that ticket or you win it from a local radio station. You might be going alone or with a special friend. It really doesn’t matter. You have that ticket and you are going to that concert. And of course you tell all your friends and you talk about it for weeks in advance. The anticipation and excitement mounts as the day draws closer and closer.

Whether you are in Tennessee to see Charlie Daniels or New York to see Barbra Streisand, whether you are male or female, young or just young at heart, the excitement and the process is basically the same. Finally the big day/night is here and you head out to join all the others holding their treasured tickets. Electricity fills the air, cars and pedestrians are everywhere, parking places are at a premium and the walk can be long. For some it can be frustrating but for most it is just one more facet of what makes up the whole of this exhilarating experience.

Again, you stand in line to present your concert tickets and be given directions to your seat. Once through the gate, there are numerous tables set up displaying all the memorabilia for sale to tangibly cement the memories of this concert. You wind your way through all the other excited people, find your seat and settle in, surrounded by thousands of others sharing these very same feelings; some more demonstrative than others of course; but feelings all the same. Suddenly the crowd falls quiet, the moment has arrived, the curtain goes up and there is your idol…the crowd is on its feet, earsplitting cheers, whistles and applause erupt throughout the venue! The show begins and the thrill and appreciation never subsides. This is what you have been waiting for, you are not disappointed and you will do it again.
