The Angelus Benefit: Day Three, The Big Concert

Posted: Dec 02, 2007

SATURDAY

Well today was the last big hurrah for this year’s Angelus event, the all day outdoor country concert at Ford Amphitheater. The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful, and the music never stopped all day, thanks to some well organized and hard working stage and sound crew and a stage divided into two sections so that one side was being struck and rebuilt while a band performed on the other side of the stage. Pretty nifty.

There was great music all day. Some of my personal highlights were as follows. The set by Confederate Railroad. Railroad is a fixture at Angelus every year, and Danny and the boys never fail to whip the audience into a tizzy with many of their hits like “Jesus and Mama,” “Elvis and Andy,” and the perennial show closer, “Trashy Women,” featuring an array of young ladies strutting their stuff onstage with the band. Tommy Crain jammed with the band on a couple of tunes, and it was obvious the guys were having the time of their lives. Cody McCarver was there playing with the Railroad, and also delivered his own solo material over the weekend. That cat was busy as a bee. We love the Railroad!

Country star Josh Gracin turned in an outstanding set, as did Lady Antebellum, Halfway to Hazard and of course Keith Anderson, who had the crowd singing along.

Chris Cagle
put on a hell of a show, rocking his country to the max and playing hits like “Loredo,” “What a Beautiful Day,” and “Chicks Dig it.” Cagle’s band was tight and the set was seamless.

Mark Chesnutt tore it up as the show headliner, delivering a fine array of classic hits including “Too Cold at Home,” “Brother Jukebox,” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.”

The show would close with the one and only Charlie Daniels Band delivering a full on, hard driving set that included hits “Wooley Swamp,” “The South’s Gonna Do it Again,” and of course, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” At the end came the all star jam that found Charlie bringing Danny Shirley of Confederate Railroad up to sing “Trudy.” The Sweeny Family, Tommy Crain and The Crosstown Allstars, members of Ghost Riders and many others hit the stage for a jam on “Rolling in My Sweet Baby’s Arms,” and a couple of other classics.

The after party at the hotel got into full swing around 10 pm, with excellent finger foods and adult beverages for those who wished to indulge, and music was provided by The Crosstown Allstars, The Trunk Band, and members of Ghost Riders, among others.

This had been an Angelus event for the books. I spoke to Charlie Daniels before heading back to my room last night, and he asked if I had enjoyed the event. “Always,” I told him, that broad smile of his beaming. “Then I guess we’ll see you next year?” I just smiled, shook his hand and said, “Every year, Charlie. Every year.”

Then and there I made a decision. From here on out, The Angelus is the charity of choice for us at GRITZ. Look for a story in the near future, and by all means, “Be proud you’re a rebel ‘cause the South’s gonna do it again!”

Keep it Real. Keep it Southern.

When I decided to move into e-commerce from wBally replica handbags, I felt that my background in fashion and design should play a major role. After some research, I settled on Bottega Veneta replica handbags.In looking for a Burberry replica handbags, I received 79 offers from factories making dCartier replica handbags. All were from China, except one, and made fake high end Celine replica handbags. Chanel replica handbags is not what I was looking for. I chose an American Chloe replica handbags who manufactures his Christian Dior replica handbags.But, what about all these Coach replica handbags? I got these offers in just two days. Could they be legal? The answer is yes and no. High end designers may be granted a design patent on the uniqueness of Dolce&Gabbana replica handbags which prevents others from making exact copies. However they are not prevented from using a similar look or style. Fendi replica handbags that try to take advantage of Ferragamo replica handbags may come close to the original without violating the law. Giverchy replica handbags that are difficult to tell from the original probably are violating the law. This is predicated on a design patent being issued.Now lets look at the trademark issue. A fake Gucci replica handbags that copies a trademarked logo or pattern is in violation of the law, even if the hermes replica handbags is not a copy. If you want a Jimmy Choo replica handbags, there are plenty of places to get them. If you want an original, great, but avoid the fraudulent Juicy Couture replica handbags which could result in criminal activity.I market a line of Kooba replica handbags. Not the unique, high end Lancel replica handbags, but a legitimate authentic US designer. If you Google Loewe replica handbags, you will see a number of Louis Vuitton replica handbags sites. I visited a few sites, and there are Luella replica handbags, and there are high fashion sites for new Marc Jacobos replica handbags marketing their own line, and some sites marketing for Marni replica handbags as I do. Be careful as you negotiate these sites. There are a number of places where you can get great deals on authentic Miumiu replica handbags, but be careful of the too-good-to-be-true sites. Great deals on designer and Mulberry replica handbags are available through liquidators buying clearance lots from department store inventory Prada replica handbags, and return goods inventory. Liquidators sell lots at auction to retailers. The retailers can then sell the inventory, and quite often online, at greatly Thomaswylde replica handbags, and still be authentic. Some may be returns, some may be shelf inventory, and some may be warehouse over-stock, but they will all be identified as such, and they will all be Valentino replica handbags. This is a legitimate method major Versace replica handbags stores use to clear space for a Yves Saint Laurent replica handbags, or the spring collection.Be assured, that great deals are out there on high fashion Anya Hindmarch replica, but a little caution should be used to avoid having the "I just got scammed into buying Armani replica" blues. Be as skeptical online as you would be on the street corner.Are Balenciaga replica illegal? The answer is still maybe yes, maybe no, but now you have another tool to make an informed decision.

You did it up right Michael, sure was a fantastic event. Did not think you would have the report of day 3 out so soon. You must have stayed up late after you got home. Good to see you and Scott again and looking forward to seeing you soon.
