Josh Groban, Revisited

 It's been well over a dozen years since I first heard the melodic voice of Josh Groban.  It was in November, during a PBS fundraiser, when we were first introduced.

Twelve years later,  I must admit that his voice continues to capture my heart and soothe my soul.

So, you can only imagine how thrilled I was to find myself as part of the crowd tonight at the Consol Energy Center, compliments of two of my daughters who treated me to this delightful event.

And, it certainly is obvious that they were just as excited about seeing this performance as I was!

This wasn't my first "Live" Josh Groban experience.  That was back in Feb 2005, as part of a Christmas gift from Stacey, which included two tickets to his "Closer" concert, and instructions to invite the guest of my choice.

So, I picked my good friend, Morena, as my partner for the evening,  and we excitedly made the drive to Hershey arena.  We found ourselves in awesome seats, swooning at this young man's melodies, and thoroughly enjoying his sense of humor and overall inviting personality.  When Josh began singing "Mi Morena", my friend bent over to whisper in my ear, "Barbara......he's singing to ME!" We were hooked!

When the concert was over, while Morena and I drove home, we excitedly discussed the possibility of packing our bags and hitting the road to become Josh Groban Groupies.    

It certainly was a night to remember for both of us.

Obviously, neither of us followed through as stalkers,  but I have had the opportunity to see him in concert with Stacey in Philadelphia, and once again in the past at this very same venue in Pittsburgh, with these same two daughters. Each performance had been thoroughly enjoyable. 

And, tonight was no different.  We were entertained by soothing ballads

exceptional musical performances

and spectacular special effects.

And it certainly didn't hurt that we had AWESOME seats!

Once again, it was a night to remember!

How lucky am I to have such awesome daughters?
