Casey James' last two shows of 2011

Hey everybody!!  Wow....I sometimes forget how busy it gets this time of year!!!  Christmas shopping, getting cards ready to send out, cooking goodies.....it all get overwhelming at times....but I love it!    Real quick I wanted to let everyone know that my boxer Brandy, is doing great!  The meds are still working and we have to keep her calm most of the time, but she didn't get pneumonia, which was our biggest fear!!   She has coughed a little from time to time, but not bad.  I'm just so relieved that the worst of it is over.  Thank you to each and every one of you who said a prayer or thought good thoughts for her during this time.....it is so appreciated!!

Well, as for Casey James....it looks as if he's completed his last two shows of 2011.  The first of the two was last night, at Cotton Eyed Joe's, one of the best clubs in Knoxville, Tn. where Casey was the headliner.   It was a benefit show sponsored by radio 107.7 WIVK in Knoxville.

Casey said his heart was about to explode with happiness at seeing people sing his songs back to him!!  Ohhhh....thats so sweet!!  :)  He also said the album was 100% finished now....seems there had to be some last minute tweaking!  :)  Well....I tell you what.....I can't wait to get several copies of that album in my paws....cuz everybody I know is getting one....whether they want it or not.....I'm giving his album out to family and friends, and most importantly.....to strangers right off the street!!  I know one thing....it is going to be phenomenal!!!  It's his heart and soul.....thats exactly what he called it.....some time ago now.  I will probably shed more than a few tears at first listen.  We ought to hold 'listening parties' with other fans, who are close to us.   Nawwww, I'm not going to be able to wait to hear it.....I'm putting it in my truck CD player as soon as I get the paper ripped off of it! :)
Getting back to the show now.....Casey sang an enthusiastic 12 song acoustic set, where he seemed playful and talkative with the crowd.  Here, in order they were sang, is the set list.

Oh my goodness gracious!!!!  What a wonderful bunch of videos!!!   Thank YOU Lisa!!!  They are crystal clear and I'm loving these little changes he seems to be doing to some of these original songs!!!   And.....just a darn minute here!!!   Did I see a little move or two that looked similar to dancing???  Did I??   There was some feet movement I saw on, I believe on "Polk Salad Annie".....that I really really liked!!!  LoL!!!  Casey needs to stand up like this more often at these acoustic shows, he seems to get into the music better standing up.....he moves his body around more, and he stomps his feet....he moves his feet in what looks like 'almost' sort of.....dance moves......he needs to just cut loose & let us see what he can do!!!  LoL!!  :)
Speaking of dancing.....has anyone seen the Geico Gecko commercial, doing his rendition of 'Texas Dancing'??
  I still just laugh so hard, I nearly cry....every time I see it!!!  He's out on the dance floor with all those huge boots all around him, just tearing it up!!!  Line dancing.....by himself!!!!   That little guy can flat out cut a rug!!!  LoL!!!   Gotta love the Gecko!!  :)

When more photo's and videos come thru, I'll update and post more.  But for now, that's all I have.

The second show, and officially the last of 2011, which was tonight, was at Knuckleheads Roadhouse in Virginia Beach, Virginia.  Casey, along with fellow country artist, Chris Cagle, were part of radio station US106.1's Rising Star Series.  Cagle has been around awhile, but after some absence, he is back, with a new single, hoping to jump start his career.    And....the show was FREE!! 

Casey took the stage at about 8:00pm tonight and did an impressive 10 song acoustic set.

There is only one photo at the radio station's FB page.  So.....I'm hoping they took more, or somebody there will share with all of us.  I don't even know if any fans that I know, were there tonight.  But time will tell....we may see some pictures and video by tomorrow.  I will update if I find any.  Thanks to US 106.1 for this photo.

  8. I watched the Polk Salad Annie and Casey really does get into it and does his kind of "dancing" which was really cute! Glenda, thanks for your own special take on everything going on with Casey! Glad to hear your puppy dog Brandy is doing better!
