Me and James. I was in a walking cast/boot. Tried to bootleg the show but didn’t work. People seated in front were talking constantly!!! We sat behind the stage. It was a great show! Honestly it was the best of the three reunion shows I saw in Texas. Visited Randy at Fox & Hound after the show. Here are some photos from the show. I did not take these.

Me and Dad. We rented a car and headed up to Dallas. We visited Dealey Plaza and the JFK assassination museum. Very interesting. After that we took in the show. It was awesome!! My dad was fun to hang out with.  He was 72. After the show we headed back home!!


That is the last time I’ve seen him to date. 😟
