Josie (who got there at 10 central in the morning) was already there on the horse race track talking to a group of other fans. We mostly walked around and looked at stuff and rode the carousel since the admission included a ride armband! There was a big inflatable slide that resembled the sinking of the Titanic!<\/p>\n
Finally after waiting the whole afternoon it was time for the meet & greet at 7:30! We walked back and waited then went in the building and when the guys were ready they came in a few moments later. Everyone applauded when they entered the room! First one I talked to was Dan (and I didn\u2019t even st-st-st-st stutter!) and when he autographed my OMD promo I told him that I begged my work (K-mart at the time) to let me have it and he cracked up about that! Then we talked to the rest of them and most of my pictures turned out good from the show and all my meet & greet pics turned out great!<\/p>\n
Then we went back to our seats and this guy behind us starts talking about Charlie Daniels. At one point in the show he said \u201cI know this song, but I thought Charlie Daniels sung it!\u201d and we laughed. Then he said \u201cThese guys are purdy, but I still think Charlie Daniels is purdier to look at!\u201d & I retorted with \u201cI think these guys ARE better looking than Charlie Daniels!\u201d and he cracked up! Here\u2019s the songs they sang and some comments I was able to scribble down real fast as they were talking.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the songs they sang and some comments I was able to scribble down real fast as they were talking.<\/p>\n
Meet in the Middle, Love a little stronger, the medley of Oh me Oh my sweet baby, Holdin\u2019, In a week or 2, Nowhere Bound, Mirror Mirror, Mama, This Romeo Ain\u2019t got Julie yet, Bubba Hyde (end medley) then these comments from Marty:\u201dHow ya doin\u2019, Fayetteville?\u201d (with uproar from audience), talked about being an hour from home and then said \u201cYou know you guys have a lot of bugs here in Fayetteville,\u201d a pause and then \u201cbecause I just ate one!\u201d and everyone cracked up! Talked about doin\u2019 some of the old songs anyway and went back to playing Kentucky Mine, You\u2019re Gone, Imagine That, and It\u2019s all in your head.<\/p>\n
More comments from Marty: \u201cThis song we\u2019re about to play is about BBQ\u2019s, watchin\u2019 movies, hangin\u2019 out, and all that kind of stuff!\u201d cheers from audience and a giggle from Marty, but he was in control of them! Then he talked about their kids being on there & Sarah wanted to hear herself in the studio and they recorded her singing the opening to Sweet Summer & they were gonna play that like it was on the album for us. Back to the music with:<\/p>\n
Sweet Summer, That\u2019s just that (Marty said that would be their next single), and One More Day with the new ending. Dana then took the mike and started singing the chorus again and we helped out! He said that his son picked out his Batman shirt for him to wear, and that he\u2019d wear it on the Grand Ole Opry for us because he can! lol! Then something else he didn\u2019t want us to post! Then he said \u201cRicky Martin has never played around hay bales & pumpkins!\u201d and shook his head! lol! Talked about the \u201cMusical Journey\u201d with the 3 kinds of \u201cRicky music\u201d and he had the whistle! Then they played:<\/p>\n
the \u201cMusical Journey\u201d, Norma Jean Riley & Unbelievable (after Marty asked if there were any girls in the audience!) then they went off for a moment but came back with an encore of How your love makes me feel
\nThen Marty said \u201cHow about it for Dana?\u201d and went through the others \u2019til he got to himself, looked left & right and said \u201cand me\u201d and the crowd cheered the loudest then, especially me!
\nWe got home at 1 in the morning after 12 hours of being gone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
