A to Z Challenge - 2020 - Isaak

Chris Isaak is helping me fill the "I" spot in the A to Z Challenge.  We were looking for shows to help us keep our "Loyalty status" at the Mountain Winery and saw that he was going to be playing so we decided to take a chance.  We knew a few of his songs but weren't really huge fans.  We were pleasantly surprised at the number of songs we actually did know and he is a very personable performer with lots of crowd interaction.  We didn't realize he has been performing for over 30 years! 

In looking through my paper collection, I found this double sided set.  It is not from Paper Wishes so I'm pretty sure I got it at either Michaels or JoAnn's.  It is K and Company brand.



After I started putting the pages together, I went with a completely different color scheme by using the back side of those same papers!


I've had this little beaded embellishment for so long and I thought it fit great here. 


We were sitting close enough that my husband was able to sneak up to the stage and take a picture of the setlist!  


I'm not sure what the numbers next to the songs are.  Perhaps for the lighting or microphones? 


I am taking a chance sometimes by stamping on the page itself.  What if it smudges or doesn't come out cleanly? 


Fortunately it did.  I guess I could just rearrange the pictures to hide it or add a different embellishment over that spot. 


I just added some simple borders to these pages.  More stuff that I've had around for ages. 



I loved the butterfly on this page and had one that matched so I put it up on some foam tape to make it pop off the page. 



Another thing I'm trying to use more of is my punches.  




Of course I have a musical punch. 




For the encore Chris came out in this suit that looked like it was a million tiny mirrors.  I can imagine it being so heavy!  It certainly was sparkly.  



I did a little something with the guitar on the middle picture here.  


Can you tell?


It is a clear Dazzle sticker that I put over the top.  You can still see his hands but it makes the picture sparkle a little like his suit. 


Here's the final version as it is in the album.  







We had great seats and I was able to get a lot of good pictures so this one has a lot of pages.  My favorite Chris Isaak song is "Wicked Games." He sang it in the dark and it was so cool.  Here is "Baby Did A Bad, Bad Thing."





I always thought that Chris Isaak was a country singer but actually they rocked it pretty good.  He has been singing a lot longer than I realized too and his band has been the same all through the years.  They looked like they were enjoying themselves too.

That's it for "I."  Hope to see you tomorrow for "J."  No, it's not Journey.  I did them in 2017.

July-Jinks - 2018 #SLS Song Lyric Sunday

According to Helen at Words of Life, our theme for this week's Song Lyric Sunday is "Think." 


My offering...Chris Isaak, Think of Tomorrow:

Lyrics

The future looks so bright ahead, the past is far behind
I think of all the things we said, and you are on my mind
Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow
Mexico has sunny skies, Hawaii knows no rain
Any place you want sweetheart, I will buy the ring
Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow
Anything you want sweetheart, anything you do
Anywhere you go sweetheart, I will follow you
Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow
Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow
This car I drive is old and beat, it may not see me through
This car I drive is fine with me, it's headed back to you
Think of tomorrow. Think of tomorrow
Songwriters: Chris Isaak


We saw Chris Isaak last year at the Mountain Winery and he puts on a really good show. 





He was going to be there again this year but we are going to Oregon so we are limiting the number of concerts we see.  Plus, while my husband enjoyed it, this is not the type of music he prefers. 

Today also happens to be my son's 30th birthday so I am "thinking" about when he was born. 





Hard to believe he is 30 this year and I have to stop thinking about him as my "little blonde haired boy" and more like the man he has grown to be.  We are so proud of him. 

I'll leave you with Chris Isaak and suggest that you check out the other Song Lyric Sunday participants!
