A Very Fun(ny) Evening
Monday, May 18th, 2009 | House Concerts
Kacey Jones is a very funny woman. On Saturday (May 16), she had us rolling on the floor with laughter. With song titles like “I Want to Be Upfront Like Dolly,” “I Miss My Man (But My Aim’s Getting Better) and “1-900-Bubba,” I knew we were in for a fun evening.
Kacey’s brand of humor was perfect for the cozy, intimate atmosphere we had for the concert. Kacey was very polished, yet very informal. We heard stories, we had conversations, and most of all, we laughed. Some of the biggest laughs came when Kacey sang, “I Could Get Over Him If ICould Get Under You,” and “The Red-Headed Man Who Would Not Move.”
Another hilarious moment was when Kacey interrupted a song to “attack” Ed Witman for making noise with his water bottle. Of course, Ed was rewarded later when he won the Best Cowboy Hat Contest and received an autographed copy of Kacey’s latest CD, “Donald Trump’s Hair.”
Along with the laughter, Kacey mixed in a few serious songs, including a few from her tribute album to Mickey Newberry. The most poingnant moment of the night (at least for me) came when Kacey sang Mickey Newberry’s “Amen for Old Friends” and dedicated it to Jack Putnam and Diane (Cone) McSwan, two of our “old friends” who passed away in the last month. Goodbye, old friends. We’ll miss you.
Thanks to everyone who attended and a special “thank you” to those who brought food or drink to share. We had a great time.
