Wow! Where to start.

Let's go with showing up at the casino for show night #2. When I arrived there
were 3 wheel chairs in front of the stage, to the right (Duke's side). Kelly &
Nancy were there holding places for us (thanks girls!). Then security showed up.
They told us we could not stand in front of the stage because it was blocking
the aisle. Nancy explained that we had stood there last night. But they said no
and pulled the wheel chairs back away from the stage and we stepped back. My big
concern was that when the guys started playing, people would walk by, hear the
music, stop to watch and then THEY would be blocking the aisle….but be in FRONT
of us!

But, a few minutes later security came back and said we could stand at the
stage. Whew!

To be honest, I barely remember the first show. Let me try to hit some
highlights. This time Mark & Glenn had hats for "Personality". And during "The
Duke of Earl", Duke put his hand in the front of his sweater (Napoleon style)
the whole time and then switched hands. Mark & Glenn imitated him.

And that is about all I can remember, except for the guy behind the stage doing
some very interesting "dancing". When the guys saw us looking they glanced that
way, and tried not to laugh.

Which brings me to show #2. There was the hour break in between shows. Then it
was show time. The ladies in the wheel chairs left, so we moved to the center of
the stage.

And everything was fine until about the 3rd song. Then the guy we had seen
dancing behind stage during the first show came to the front of the stage. I
first noticed him because he was "dancing" (I really am not sure what other word
to use) and when he dropped to the floor, he stepped on my toe. After a few
minutes Kelly, Nancy & I moved to the right side of the stage. At first it was
funny. The guys were watching from stage and even imitated some of the moves and
we all laughed. Then it got weird.

So weird that Duke moved as far over as he could, against the speakers & at one
point grabbed the handle of the speaker as if to hold on. As we were all huddled
in the corner, and moving over more & more, I kept thinking….this is the ONLY
time anyone has ever moved us from the front of the stage!!!

A couple of women joined in the dancing and things got scary. I could not even
LOOK at the "dancers". They certainly gave Dirty Dancing a whole new meaning!

Finally, when things got so bad that they were down right obscene… security
showed up & made them leave.

But by then, Glenn was already doing his tribute to the music of Neil Diamond.
And no one would even fill the area in front of the stage that had been a dance
floor. So we continued to huddle in the corner and watch the rest of the show.

Then it was over. It had been such a strange experience that I felt like I
hadn't even seen a show! Not a good way to end the week end.

Now I will just look forward to May 8th & 9th when the guys are at Jim & Jack's
in Cincinnati.
