Just got back from Myrtle Beach and other places The highlite of the trip was of course the AKUS concert ;D ;D ;D! She came out on stage just a step or two behind the guys, at which time the applause for their appearence increased in volumne 2 fold. She was drop dead gorgeous in jeans, a button down the front blouse that was topped off with a brown jacket-- not the leather one. Her singing and playing were as expected -- Fabulous!! Why does that sound so inadequate? She was in top form with her commentaries. She asked what each had gotten for Christmas; Larry said that he had gotten the best gift-- to be at home with his family. With that Alison stood looking at him for just the shortest of pauses, then told him that she was not looking for the real meaning of Christmas, ---- she was looking for "shallow", "material" things, WHAT DID HE GET? Of course this was asked in that voice that cuts through everything. Larry finally came up with a ladder that he had bought for himself for Christmas and that seemed to satisfy her. And then with everyone laughing and smiling, Alison launches into one of "sad ,pitiful" songs that give you goosebumps. She sure does know how to keep her audience off balance.. The one thing I noticed was that ther was no Cracker Barrel logo behind them on stage. Does anyone know anything about that.? How about the Fla. concerts? Was Cracker Barrel in evidence? I loved every second of the show

Interesting about the CB absence. CB was definitely present at the last concert of 2005 in Greenville.

I went to the Daytona Beach concert and there was no pictures or reference to anything Cracker Barrel. We went to eat there a couple hours before the show, the food was okay, but the green beans and the mashed potatoes were totally off the hook!! I was soo annoyed cause the AKUS cds were in a little bin off to the side off the registers, like they didnt exist! All they played was Sara Evans! The first couple times were okay, but after awhile, I was like "When are they gonna play my girl, Alison?"

Do any of you know, if Cracker Barrel is no longer sponsoring, does that mean we can bring cameras to the shows again? Did anyone who went in 2006 notice?

Hi,
I havent heard for sure that they arent, but I did take notice that there were NO Cracker Barrel shirts at the concert this time. I went to one in Oct. and they had them there. I was looking all over and they said we arent selling them any more. Thats a bum! Their loss! I went to one this month and as for the camera issue as far as I could tell, there is still a NO camera and Etc.. "Law". Mabye we were misdirected and it wasnt CB that had that requirement? Maybe the bands wishes?

I always thought that the no photo policy was compliments of our friends at echomusic who are helping "manage" us fans. I checked their website and, of course, have nothing new with their last posting as of February, 2005 and Alison as 33 years old (which, I guess she was in February of last year).
