Hal Ketchum's concert tonight was fantastic, and held in such a small, intimate setting at One World Theater. We had excellent seats and got to meet him after the show for photos and autographs. He signed my CDs and I got to speak to him briefly. He was gracious and sweet, but kind of stressing out because there was a long line for others to meet him still and he had a second show to do. He said, "I've got another show, Baby!" And he was trying to get through the line quickly when I tried to talk to him a bit more. He was so cute. I totally loved meeting him and couldn't believe it because I've been such a fan of his music for a long time. Kelly really enjoyed the show too. Thank you, Kelly! It was a wonderful treat, even effervescent.
I didn't realize this, but Hal Ketchum was "discovered" when he was 38 years old and worked as a cabinet maker in San Marcos, Texas. He got a phone call from someone at a record label who had heard his demo, and he "signed his life away" and moved to Nashville. He sounds like he really misses Texas. He has a huge Texas tattoo on his arm (the one that's around me in the photo). All of his band members are from Texas. The lead guitarist is from Bastrop, the bass guitarist is from New Braunfels, and the drummer is from Austin. Hal was originally from the east and moved here to Texas at age 19. He lived here for about 20 years then headed to Nashville after signing the record deal. He's now 54. He was very laid-back and entertaining and talked to us a lot. There was an obnoxious {drunk} lady in the crowd that was kind of heckling him when he'd try to tell a story before singing, and while she was excessively annoying, Hal handled her really well. It was pretty funny. He put on an awesome show and I wished I could have stayed for the second show! He'll be performing in New Braunfels in October and I would so like to go see him again.
Lindsey took our picture on the front porch before we left on our date night. Kelly was tired from a long day's work, so I drove while he ate dinner and relaxed.
