The other day I was browsing the 'net. I went to Diamond Rio's web site and was looking through their tour calendar. I was wondering when they would be coming to the Indiana area, just for the heck of it. I looked at their schedule for the month of August. I was surprised to see that they are supposed to be in Indianapolis on the 6th of that month.
My initial reaction was that they'd be playing somewhere where I couldn't afford to go due to ticket prices, etc. Well, I found out that they are going to be at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the day of qualifications for the Brickyard 400 (the name of the race is now technically, the Allstate 400 at the Brickyard. I hate that and will never say the new name. It has been and will always be the Brickyard 400 to me.) putting on a free show with paid admission to the track. The show is being sponsored by Allstate, the brand new Indianapolis country radio station; Hank-FM, and a few others.
I knew then that this was an opportunity of a lifetime for me because I have been to the Brickyard qualifications before. Ticket prices are affordable and worth it. I became so excited that I just knew I had to go this year. I told mom about it and she acted like she didn't want to go. I told her that I was going to talk to my cousin Jerry about going to see if he wanted to go. He said that he would and mom decided that she would go if my cousin Shannon would go. So come August 6th, my dream of seeing Diamond Rio LIVE and in concert will be coming true!
For anyone that is interested, here are two links to articles written about this upcoming show:

I have wanted to see them live ever since I became a die-hard fan between 1998 and 2001. I have liked them since they began making records in 1991 but didn't become a big fan until I got their "Greatest Hits" CD. I went from being a big fan to a die-hard fan when I bought their "One More Day" CD. After having the two aforementioned CDs, I brought their other 5 CDs and then their 8th studio release, "Completely", when it came out in 2002.
I could sit here and go on all day about these guys but I don't think anyone wants to sit and read everything that I know or have to say about them, so I will go ahead and wrap this up. I am sure that I will discuss more about Diamond Rio in future entries, especially the entry after the concert.
I can't wait 'til August 6th!
'Till next time.
