If you read earlier entries on my blog, you know I love my music and concerts. Last summer we found 2 for 1 tickets for Brad Paisley in Atlantic City. My friend Shannon and her Mom joined us for a really fun dinner, concert, and an overnight. At the concert my mom noticed posters that said Keith Urban was performing there the following week. We asked a few people to go but no one was able to. A couple of days later my mom was in the car listening to XTU, a country music station. They said in 45 minutes they were going to give away a Meet and Greet with Keith Urban in AC! They were going to have a contest between two listeners who would answer questions about Keith. My Mom arrived home and went on the computer to look up some facts about him. I arrived home about the same time. When they announced to call in, she did. The phone rang several for minutes. She thought she had the wrong number, but just then the DJ answered and said who is this ~ You’re contestant #1. What is you name? OMG – WHAATT!!! The DJ was going to ask 3 questions and who ever shouted their name first, would get to answer the question. She did ~ 3 times ~ and answered correctly!! The DJ said congratulations! You won a Meet and Greet with Keith and tickets to the concert!!! We both were screaming!!! It was great.
The night of the concert we had to go off to the side of the stage before it started. There were about 30 other people. We were the first in line. They took us individually into a little photo booth made up with curtains, lights and a back drop. While waiting for Keith, my mom took a photo of me against the backdrop. Her back was to the opening as she was putting her phone back in her purse. Keith opened the curtain and took a step in and put his finger to his lips ~ for me to keep quiet. Then he stood next to my mom and put his face a few inches from hers. As she turned her head and saw him she jumped and shrieked! He said “I” scared you didn’t I ?” We all laughed so hard. His accent was so awesome. He said “Hi Baby”, What’s Your name?” to me! We talked for a brief minute. The photographer took our photos and we said good-bye. It was so UNREAL. He’s so sweet and such a nice guy. Made our night, month, and summer!! The concert was outstanding. He is so talented. I don’t think there is one song that I don’t love.
We were at The Hard Rock AC and our seats were in the last row on the floor about 15 rows from the stage. About half way through the concert a man from the audience who was sitting in rise behind us, tapped my mom on the shoulder. He handed her a Keith Urban T- Shirt and said he brought it for me! We were so thankful for his kind gesture!
I also have a mug with Keith’s Photo on it from my sister! So, as you can imagine, we had the happiest night ever. It was right at the end of August ~ An amazing end to the summer of 2019. Thank so much XTU, the generous mystery man, and Keith! We Love You!
