Tina Turner the Anniversary Tour 2008


OMG! Yesterday was the day that one of my dreams came true. I was driving to work and listening to the radio. I was not enjoying the song that was playing so I changed the station to Houston's 107.5 KHTC The Classics and they had announced that the 12th caller would win 2 tickets to the Tina Turner concert at the Toyota Center on Monday, October 27, 2008. So I decided what, the heck I'll call and try to win. I called 3 times and got a busy signal. I thought okay one more time; well the phone began to ring and just as I was going to hang up someone answered. I asked, "Am I the 12th caller", he asked, "Who is this?" I answered, "This is Cecy!" He then said, "Congratulations, you are the 12th caller!" I started to scream, OMG OMG! Then I was asked, "Who are you taking with you?" I responded, "My best friend, my sister Diana!" They collected all of my information and as soon as I got hung up with the radio station, I called my sister to tell her the news. I was screaming, trying to tell her about the concert and she said, "Cecy slow down, what's the matter?". All I could say was "I won 2 tickets for the Tina Turner concert tonight!", over and over. Diana was so funny and all she could respond was, "You liar." Needless to say my day seemed to go by so slow until quitting time to then go and get the tickets.


Finally, after waiting all day long it was time to leave for the concert. The concert began at about 8:00pm and so did the screaming. I was so happy to be there all I could do is scream. She looked amazing. We took binoculars to get a closer look and she looks phenomenal, and those legs, wow! She put on a fabulous show and for someone who is 68 years young, all I can say is that I hope I have that much energy when I am her age. The highlight of the show of course was Proud Mary. This is going down as one of the most amazing nights of my life.
