ENJOY!! will be looking forward to your review. Speaking of sold out-- the next couple concerts in Fla are sold out except for a couple seats in the nosebleed section. I got my tickets for Myrtle Beach in Jan, which is almost sold out. They may have people coming from Charlestown , who could not get tickets for tonite. The moral of the story is---- If you want to see the best there is , you have to get your tickets early.

I got to see AKUS in Jacksonville on Dec 5.
Whoa, Alison was at peak tonight, I never heard her sound better! Her Voice was soft when it needed to be, and strong when it needed to be. She had perfect control. Her vibrato was perfect and it sent shivers in me. She played her fiddle the best I've ever seen also. She added notes to her leads, she double-stopped perfectly, she was on FIRE !!! US and Jerry matched her in every way. They all played at the very top of their game. It was unbelievable! I've seen them 3 times on this tour and, I gotta tell you, they were hot! No longer lingering on LRBW, Alison reached back in her resume for some great Alison oldies. "Baby, now that I found you" came out with studio perfection and the audience roared. "It don't matter anymore" was as sweet as anything she had ever sung, you could hear a pin drop between notes. Ron's leads were plain awesome. Ron sang a religious song, not sure what the title was. Jerry was also on fire; in fact all of them added to thier parts. The concert went on until about 9:45, then the encore, with Alison singing "Down to the River" with perfect pitch and inflection. "A living Prayer" was also musically pure and angelic. The concert was sold out. Alison and US did some fine comedy, right on with their famous routines. Gone are the underwear jokes; the whole deal is new and fresh. Alison was having way too much fun, two stepping with Dan Jerry and Barry on more than a few occasions. She looked eager to play, and during the chat breaks she played her fiddle off and on. During Jerry's famous dobro shine on the audience, Alsion tried shining us with her fiddle. Cute. Man, that woman can play! Oh, and the candy ane she said had a price tag of $1.58 on it. Alison looked just beautiful in jeans and her brown leather jacket and brown shoes. Oh....man, I love her. Thanks for a every second Alison and God Bless You!

ME TOO! Except.. I don't know the next time I'll get to see her. You both sound like you had a wonderful time, Kate and sosa! And thanks for the info on the shows. It's wonderful that she and the guys are always so excited to play for us fans. They do it because they love it, not because they have to or to get paid. I love that about them. Thanks again guys! And just so ya know.. I'm extremely jealous right now!
