The girls are fans of Norah Jones whom I first gave a listen to a couple of years ago. Digging deeper even her older stint with The Peter Malick group was pretty good, including an old Bryan Ferry tune, More Than This.
I learned a few months ago that she was coming here and decided to purchase some tickets. Unfortunately she wasn't playing in Orlando, but rather in Kissimmee at the Silver Spurs Arena. What a dump. It looks fairly new, but in the middle of nowhere. It took quite awhile to arrive at the venue and the traffic was terrible. Plus to "boot" it must've been line dancing night for the locals and we had to fight for parking.
Arriving a half hour late we made it to catch the last song of the opening act, Amos Lee (WHO???). The women at least seemed to love him. The crowd was definitely an older group - pretty subdued. We stayed for a little over an hour and then bailed out to dodge the traffic before her last song (which I didn't know) ended.
The air was cool and we got home at an early hour, not unlike other concerts I've been to. This was definitely a very calm night. We're getting old.
