Kathy loved ballet and since the Atlanta Symphony played for the Atlanta Ballet we decided to get season tickets to the Atlanta Ballet from that point forward. We both came to the conclusion that we couldn’t keep both sets of tickets and so a decision was made to meet in the middle.
Needless to say, I had never heard of the place. Kathy had season tickets to Lanierland Music Park which had been providing country music fans their country fix since the early 70’s.
One side effect of Progessive Rock is a love for Classical Music and I had season tickets to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. I am a rocker at heart, but I am primarily a “Prog Rocker”. One of our first dilemmas revolved around season tickets. Boy was I in for a rude awakening.Īfter she finally said, “Yes” in late November of 1987, we started making plans for not just our wedding but our lives together. Those songs defined The Dirt Band to me, and up until I met Kathy those three songs were pretty much all I knew about the band. Bojangles”, “American Dream” and “Make A Little Magic” and yes I know the latter was 1980, but I was Class Of 1980 at Tyner High School so cut me some slack – it counts as the 70’s as far as I’m concerned. I was more interested in their songs that received a little more airplay on the stations I grew up on in Chattanooga back in the 70’s WFLI, WGOW & KZ106.
First appearing on Hold On in 1987, but I never had a copy until their greatest hits CD years later. The song “Fishin’ In The Dark” was the last number one hit for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
