The Boisvert Life

Walking into the Rose Garden Arena last night took me right back to my teenage years, when I actually went to a few concerts, imagine that! My sister Chloe, and a few friends of ours, went for a girls’ night out to dinner at The Rock Bottom Brewery (which, if you haven’t been is quite tasty) and then on to see The Dixie Chicks in concert. Let me just say, the lead singer, Natalie, is AMAZING. She floors me with how powerful her voice is and how effortless singing is for her. I’ve always had a passion for singing, but never will I be able to sing with such talent. And the other two gals have great voices too, but their instrumental prowess is even more impressive. It was so great to see a group live, and have it sound the same, if not better than it does on their records!
I’m insanely jealous of their overall talent, and would love to be able to play an instrument. That’s why I’ve decided Lindsay will learn to play the fiddle or violin, and Emery the guitar or piano. And Chloe said Ayden will have to learn the banjo or the mandolin, and they can start a little band to entertain us. HA! We’ll see. No, but it was a great show. The opening act was awesome too. I had never heard of him, but Bob Shneider was really impressive. Great easy listening voice, and hysterical dry wit onstage. I might just get one of his CDs to check out the rest of his stuff.

Oh, just a tip though, if you ever go see a concert at the Rose Garden, try to sneak in your own drink and snack, because damned if I’ll ever pay $4 for a soda again, and neither should you!
