Mike, Anna, Garrett and me went to see the great group Alabama in concert last night in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores, AL. It was a great show from the best group in the history of country music. (My opinion but would not get many arguments on this from lots of folks.) Had great seats and could sing along with almost every song as I have been a fan of the group since their first album in the 1980’s. Decided to go see them after reading of some health issues which their great guitar and fiddle player, Jeff Cook is experiencing having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a little over a year ago. He was able to come on stage last night for a couple of songs but is not able to perform on a regular basis. Our prayers are with him in this battle. But, super glad we got to see them again and to hear them sing many of their great hits from over the years along with a few new songs from an album they have put out a few months back. I am posting a couple of photos from the evening including one of the group and one of Jeff Cook singing the great Merle Haggard song “Working Man Blues.” Glad I got to spend the evening with Mike, Anna, and Garrett at this event.

The picture shown is the original barn that my grandfather Silas D. Lee built on our family farm shortly after he and my grandmother Della Brock Lee moved onto the home place in about 1912. This barn survived a tornado in 1972 that tore down a larger and newer barn that stood less than 25 feet away from this one.
