The Black Keys

On August 12, 2010 Lil' Shaffa attended "his/her" first show.  The Black Keys played at the Ryman Auditorium with The Morning Benders opening the show. 

Mike and I were so excited that Lil' Shaffa's first show was going to be such a memorable experience.  We feel so privileged to live in Nashville with such great opportunities to hear good music at good venues.  Music has always been an important part of our lives before we met and also as a couple.  We feel that it is important to pass along our appreciation for music to our little one.  It was a family affair.  Brennie and Grandbob drove to Nashville to attend the show with us which made it all the more special.  We have seen The Black Keys three times and every time with Brennie and Grandbob. 

There were 160 limited edition show posters and Mike was so excited about getting one of these numbered posters for Lil' Shaffa.  Unfortunately we arrived to the Ryman a little late and were at the back of the line to purchase the poster.  Mike gave me the money and I went to the front of the line and explained to this nice couple that we were trying to fetch a poster to commemorate our baby's first show.  They were delighted to help us out and purchased poster number 34 for us.  Hooray!  We did it!  Now we have a token to always remember Lil' Shaffa's first show.  The show was great and we had a wonderful time.
