Kenny & Amanda Smith

On June 12th Nathan and I (Natalie), went and saw the Kenny and Amanda Smith band for free in Rolla with some friends! It was great!!

We had found out not to long before, that the K&A Band were going to stay at Wildwood Springs Lodge that weekend, and that's where we work! And it also happened we were working that weekend! So after the show we had to go to work and serve them supper! That weekend a band called the Stringtown String Band was playing and the night before the K&A Band show we jammed on stage with Stringtown...which was kinda fun....anyway, after super Bob (the owner of Wildwood), spoke to K&A and asked them to play a short set before String town played again and they said they would!! So we got to see two great performances in one day!! :)

After their amazing show, I asked to play the mandolin players mandolin (Spencer Strikland), and he said I could. It was a great mandolin! So Nathan played a little song with me off a little ways (since Stringtown was playing their set,) and Kenny (Mr. Smith) walked up and listened and after the song he asked us if their was a place to jam!!! So we and the K&A Band went up and jammed in the lobby till 1:00am!!

They are the SWEETEST people!! Zach McLamb (bass player) really liked my mandolin chop! He said it was fun to play with!!! That made my year!!! :) And Spencer gave me five picks and a set of nice strings for my mandolin! Also Kenny and Amanda gave Nathan Kenny's guitar DVD! So that weekend was a total blast!!!

God bless,
~Natalie for all the LHG~
