The boys and I went to Breckenridge this last week to see one of our favorite bands. There was a concert at the city auditorium as Breckenridge was celebrating their 150 anniversary as a town and Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers were the headlining act. Roger Clyne was the lead singer of the band the Refreshments in the 90's and went on to form the Peacemakers after that. The Peacemakers are one of the few things other than family, friends and ASU football games that make me homesick as they are an Arizona based band. When we saw that they were playing in Breckenridge at a family friendly show it was a great opportunity for the boys to go to their first concert, and they love the Peacemakers. We drove up to Breckenridge and got in there early in the afternoon. After checking into the hotel we went downtown to walk around and get some dinner. We found a Mexican restaurant and decided that we would eat there. We were sitting out on that patio but went in to wash our hands, as we were heading back to our table a man noticed my ASU hat and said hey I went to ASU. I said I know we are here to see you, I introduced Dylan and Jax to Roger Clyne. It was very cool experience, he shook their hands and told us to enjoy the show. We got to the show early and it was open seating so we ended up right up front. The boys made their way to the stage and we stood with them leaning up against the stage for the entire show. I hope the boys understand how unique an experience that they had at their first concert. After the show Roger Clyne was very gracious and stayed and took pictures with many of the fans and their kids including Dylan and Jaxon. He evened asked us how our dinner was at the Mexican restaurant which I thought was cool that he remembered us. When we were leaving Jaxon gave him a high five and told him peace and that his band rocked. Roger told Jackson that he was a really cool kid and to keep on rocking. All in all it was a great experience that I was happy to have enjoyed with my boys.

That is so cool you got to meet and talk to him. He was just in Mexico playing at JJ's last time we were there. They were having a fun raiser for children in Rocky Point. The place was packed. He always brings a crowd every time he comes to JJ's.
How exciting that the boys got to experience that!
