Christopher Cross

Joe and I went to see Christopher Cross this evening at the Sooner Theatre in Norman. He was great and sang all the old songs from the early 80's plus many new ones. He still sounds the same and can hit all the high notes too. I bought the tickets the day they went on sale back in December and I'm really glad I did. The concert was sold out. The venue was small; the Sooner Theatre was Norman's first movie theatre (they celebrate their 80th year this year) but is now the community theatre showcasing Norman's finest actors (not counting the ones at the University of Oklahoma Rupel Jones Theatre). Across the street is a bronze statue of James Garner (a graduate of Norman High School) dressed as Maverick on a portion of Main Street, renamed James Garner Boulevard.

A little Norman history lesson!

I can't take credit for the cute beach pictures of Lily- Chris took those. He already thought he was a great photographer, so he was pleased to hear you liked them. I always have to take 10 pictures to get 1 good one!
