..pestered for months about attending the fund-raiser concert in Chattanooga, P. had purchased two tickets to see Vince Gill performing at the Tivilo theater in downtown. He has been donating his time to help raise funds for the Child Advocacy Center for over ten years, providing care and support for abused children in the area. We've been several times, enjoying the show: both singing and amusing stories the performers tell. We had better seats this time, down on the main floor, where as last year we were up in the balcony. Likely due to not getting tickets as soon as they went on sale.
I have to say I was a little disappointed, hoping for more entertainment from Vince Gill. He brought another singer, young woman (Logan?) just starting out along with her guitar player. And his daughter Jenny, plus another guitarist who is a very talented player and song writer. So they all sang, original material, which meant less Vince. It is obvious he believes in mentoring the next generation of young talent, allowing them to show off their skills, providing opportunities for them to grow an audience, but honestly, I think we all showed up to hear Vince.
Before the end of the show, all the people who work at the Child Advocacy Center of Hamilton County came out on stage for a photo op., chance to be recognized, congratulate each other, and be in the spotlight. Commending each other, taking a moment to be recognized for the good they do that rarely gets noticed. Probably with an audience of a 'sold out' crowd, so it was a good fund raiser for supporting a good cause. All in all, a good show.
