My husband LOVES Billy Bob Thornton. Ever since Slingblade he’s watched a lot of his movies - the most recent on made for Prime “Goliath” and FX “Fargo.” We learned he has a band, and that band would be playing in Virginia last Friday. At the last minute we decided to plan an overnight trip to visit our family - which also happened to be the town the BOXMASTERS would be playing. So I ordered up five “VIP” tickets and off we went. The concert grounds felt like a smaller version of a Summerfest concert along the Lake Michigan shore in Milwaukee, or a tiny version of the concerts held on the National Mall and Capitol - but much less packed and overwhelming. It was at Riverfront Park along the James Riverin downtown. It was very peaceful and easy going. My husband would have loved to meet Billy Bob but was thrilled to see him on stage after keeping everyone waiting for ninety minutes or more. So we ended up being right in front of the stage, took a few photos, listened to a couple of songs, and then finally went to get a bite to eat before the day was completely done. Last night Wynonna Judd was the final concert of the season, but we came home yesterday. We did hear the sound checks while on an afternoon walkabout. It was a fun little totally unexpected trip - just the kind we prefer.
