We went to see Nora Jones in concert last time. She is one of the finest vocalist in the world. The band was a tight group who played to perfection and her back-up singer was superb. It was a great night except for the neighbors.
Let me paint the scene. There was one couple between us and the aisle form McAlester. They like their beer! In front of us was another couple who not only like their beer but they liked to talk LOUD. There were two ladies between them and the aisle. LARGE ladies! So the beer couples needed to go out a lot (for more beer and more bathrooms) The couple in front kept talking until one of the ladies said, "This is a concert. SHUT UP!" That worked. Later the guy from McAlester leaned over to me and asked, "Hey, where is a good place to eat in Muskogee?" I gave him a suggestion. He started to ask another question and I gave him another suggestion and he shut up. The couple in front got up to leave again, but when they returned the ladies told them that they would have to wait until after the song was finished. They returned with the usher who tried to get them to get up but was told to wait until the song was finished. (Long song) The usher went after security, but by the time he guard arrived the song was over and the couple was allowed to sit. The security guy realized that they were bigger than him and left. The couple did not move again!
I continue to be amazed at the money people will spend to come to a great concert and not even pay attention or act different than they would in their living room!
FYI: Nora sings a great and humorous song about her dog. It is called, "Man of the Hour."
