If you have been following this blog, you know that I have been spending a LOT of time this year attending concerts. This is entirely due to my relationship with Marlene who continues to amaze me. She is not a musician but she knows music and appreciates good dancing music. One of her favorite groups is Pure Country<\/a>, a 6-piece band that plays (as you might have guessed) pure country music. And they do it in a solid, high energy, no-break 3-hour show. The leader of the band and the lead vocalist is Ed Feehan. But the other members – two lead guitars, a bass guitar, a drummer and a fiddler – are all very skilled. The fiddler – Renee – impresses me the most. She is incredible. But the entire band is amazing. You have to experience them to understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marlene has been following the band since its inception about 3 years ago. In the time since I met her we have attended at least a half dozen Pure Country concerts. She considers Ed and his wife Kim to be friends (she has Kim’s cell phone number) and I guess they feel the same about her as we were invited to sit with Kim, near the stage, a few days ago for the Pure Country concert at the Twisted Fork<\/a> in Port Charlotte FL. It was nice, of course, to be “VIPs” but the best thing about the evening is that we had seats near the dance floor right in front of the stage at this very large venue. And we danced. A lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, it was a wonderful concert and Marlene and I had a lot of fun dancing. Many thanks to Ed and Kim for making us feel, for an evening, like we were part of the Pure Country family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
