Merle Haggard Concert Review



Saturday night Merle Haggard played 2 sold out shows at The River Cree Casino just on the outskirts of town. He did a 5pm and an 8 pm show, Earl,BZ and I went to this show. Earl had tickets for the 5pm show while BZ and I had tickets for the 8pm show.
I wish I could give you a proper review of the show but I can't. Here is what you don't want to do when going to an 8pm show. Don't start drinking at 7:30 in the morning and drink all through the day. Needless to say, most of the show was kind of blurry. What I do remember of it was good, but in my drunken stupidity, sometime during the evening I lost my jacket, which meant I had no wallet therefore no cash to get home, I also lost BZ during the show. By the end of the night, I was panicking cause I had no way home. Thanks to the awesome staff at the casino, they managed to get me in a cab after I had called home and made sure Janis had money to pay for my cab fare. I made it home safe, thank god.
I called the casino Sunday morning, hoping but not really expecting them to have my jacket. Well, much to my surprise someone had turned my jacket in and everything intact, yes, wallet,smokes,bus pass,camera and still 50 dollars in my wallet. I am counting my blessings today. A big thumbs up to River Cree Casino staff.My faith in people as been renewed, to whomever turned my jacket in, a big thumbs up to them as well.
I learned a lesson Saturday night, I will never again drink that much before going to a concert.
