It is hot! Louisiana summers are harsh.
Hope all my American friends and family had a great 4th of July!
Tonya, the girls & I spent part of this holiday weekend at Fort Polk for their Freedomfest.
Theory of a Deadman & Charlie Daniels performed on an outdoor stage and there was a big fireworks show.
I don't know much about Theory of a Deadman except that they are a Canadian band. Didn't make much sense to me that they decided to get a Canadian band for an American holiday concert. Should have got Skynyrd!
Anyhoo, Deadman played and some of the younger crowd seemed to like them.
Theory played for about an hour. I got some good shots of them as the official photographer. I heard of them but never listened to their music. Tonya knew who they were and seemed to like them.
There were a lot of people in attendance, but when it came time for Charlie Daniels to take the stage there were lawn chairs as far as you could see.
I heard later that there were over 8,000 people in attendance for his performance.
Seeing Charlie Daniels perform live was a real treat.
That man has some energy for an 80 year old.
I wonder how much longer he will be performing at his age.
I was the photographer at his VIP meet & greet and got to visit with him for a moment. Awesome guy. So friendly to everyone.
Seeing Charlie Daniels play The Devil Went Down to Georgia... live... is a life highlight.
Wow. What an American icon!
Here's Tonya & I enjoying the fireworks show from the parking lot.
That's all I got this time.
I'll give y'all another shout real soon!

Proud to be an American!
