Merle Haggard at the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center

IMG_8791IMG_8838Yeah, so I’ve heard all the quotes before, “You can take the boy out of Bako, but you can’t take the Bako out of the boy.”  Well, maybe they’re right.  I don’t know.  What I do know is that Merle Haggard as the very first live performance that I ever saw when I was just a little dude in cowboy boots.  It is kinda surreal to get to watch him again, some 25 years later; give or take a couple of years.  Funny thing about this concert is that I didn’t even show up to the concert with my camera in hand.  I briefly thought about it, but figured I didn’t want to risk dragging that expensive equipment around, with a big wedding coming up this weekend (that’s right, Katie. I didn’t want any of the unthinkables to happen days away from you big day).  But……after seeing the opening band, and the seats that Dwayne and I got, I blasted out of the PAC and drove back home for the camera.  The ushers kinda tripped out after I hauled in my manfrotto tripod, cable release, and a bag full of lenses.  Thankfully, I was sitting up on the balcony like something out the muppet show; nobody was really around to disturb, so the ushers ended up letting me do my thang…  Thought maybe I would just post on or two pics from the night on the blog for fun.
