The first time I saw Dale and the Lonestars
was a benefit at the Stardust
Club in May, 2003. I was sick with bronchitis and should
have been home in bed. But, it was a Poker Run benefit for the VA
hospital and I let Elizabeth and Dobie talk me into going (as if they had to do
much talking!). It didn't take long for me to be 'hooked'.
Since I wasn't ready to go to clubs alone, I didn't get to see the
guys again
until they played the Broken Spoke in August. I'd broken my camera the week before
and bought a new one that day just so I could take pictures. The camera is
a good one, but there were some interesting photos while I learned how to use it! Dale and his band is my idea of real entertainment, I've never seen them play less than two hours before taking a break. Yet, with all the shows they do, each one is different. There's never a 'set list'. If you like to dance, like country standards, or like original material, this is your band. If you like personality & talent on stage, this is your band. Never pass up a chance to see them perform or add a CD to your collection. When you see them, take the time to meet these guys. You'll find they're as nice off stage as they are on.

After
the show, we went outside to admire Dale's Indian. Dobie wanted to see
the bike 'up close'....Dale had her climb on behind him! If you think we were
going to miss that picture, you're wrong! That's when we found out just how
sweet Dale can be with his fans....and just how tight Dobie can hang on! (Is
that a smile on Dale's face or a grimace as he tries to breathe?)
