  5:40-6:20 The Hu My husband has been listening to The Hu on You Tube.  They had a few out and we watched Wolf Totem both the original and the one with Jacoby Shaddix and Song of Women with Lzzy Hale.  As of this date, there are many more and concert recordings as well.  Being old school, or just old, my husband and I spent some time playing  "Who's on First" with the band names: The Hu vs. The Who.  Stupid jokes never get old.  We wondered if Jacoby Shaddix would join The Hu for the song he did with them, but it wasn't to be. Background:  A folk and mental music band from Mongolia, The Hu use both standard rock instruments and traditional instruments from their home country to create an outstanding blend of both.  Vocals also incorporate Mongolian throat singing, a powerful sound.  This band is composed of classically trained musicians who play many different instruments.  Some have taught music, made or restored instruments, won ...

  Dallas Weather Sunday May 29, 2022 We drove into Dallas after breakfast Sunday, glad that the concert was not on a weekday or even on Saturday.  Traffic was pretty light and we allowed two hours to get to the venue by the time the parking lot opened.  We got to the lot at entrance #9 like the directions said.  Nope, it was #10 so we went back around and a kind, red-bearded employee said we were in the right place but sadly admitted than restrooms were inside the venue which opened at 2:00.  Aakkk! Walgreens is the closest restroom so we went there, making a U-Turn, of course, because I headed the wrong way down the street Walgreens was on.  You should be used to this by now.  You may be wondering why my husband doesn't insist on driving.  Well, I get bored just sitting there and if I suck at directions while driving, think of what it would be like having me provide directions while you drive.  Nope. I headed towards the restroom behind a ga...

  What brings me to Dallas?  Seether, of course!  The start of my second summer of Seether.  I have my tickets in hand.  Well, on my phone.  I have the Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum deluxe edition plus T-shirt on order.  Well, pre-order.  I got to listen to Deliver Me  once before they realized their mistake and took it back down.  I listened to Leech on the airplane.  Yeah, that didn't work out.  Pretty bad if you can't hear Seether through the earbuds stuck in your ears.  And the flight crew had an announcement in the middle of the song.  "Dong". "Something, something about safety." Don't you know you are interrupting Seether!   Yes, I know I'm being ridiculous. Let's move on.  So with the March practice under my belt, I took out my ID early, put everything, including shoes and phone in boxes to be scanned and remembered to tell the official by the scanning booth I had a belt on.  He had me take it o...
