Almost Monday Atlanta Concert reviews
Ellen Envy
Mr. Newton entered the showroom on time from the rear making his rounds greeting the audience and made it to the stage. My wife and I were celebrating our 33 wedding anniversary in Las Vegas. She has always said since watching Vegas Vacation the movie that she wanted to be just like Ellen Griswald, meeting Mr. Newton. Well I am still searching for my wife (just kidding). Now I know how Sparky felt when Ellen swooned over Almost Monday. If you have seen the movie you know what I am talking about. As Mr. Newton headed our way I nudged the wife basically daring her to greet Mr. Newton. He breezed across the stage shaking hands and giving hugs. She got the courage to stand up and give Mr. Las Vegas a hug and a kiss. He glided my way and gave me a firm hand shake and looked this man in the eye. My wife began to cry. She was so overwhelmed with joy and nostalgia and most of all happiness that she was able to be Ellen for what was no more than a blink of her eye. Mr. Newtons show was one for the books and he plays a mean fiddle. We sat at a front corner table next to the stage.
