The traffic has arrived
June 06, 2008
OK, you know all that traffic everybody was worried about?
It’s here. A steady stream of traffic is logjammin’ the roads coming in to BamaJam as Tracy Lawrence just finished up his set – can you say a great performance?! – and we are awaiting, at 8:20 p.m., the start of Trace Adkins, to be followed by ZZ TOP!
ZZ TOP, BABY! YEAH! HELL YEAH!
Sorry … this crowd and the excitement. The adrenaline --- it all has its effect. This is BIG!!!!
Ronnie Gilley took center stage with Pollard and KC from 95.5 a few minutes ago and announced that 50,000 people have come through the gates …. Crowd size is so difficult to judge, but these are folks watching the gates, so …..
Trace: “ I got my game on…. Get me in the ballgame baby, it’s game on anyway….”
OK, the husband and I are arguing about it – the numbers. I am biased from working too many Peanut Parades where somebody would give us figures of 150,000 and we would answer … Ain’t no way. So, the husband and I did some math, three stages all packed, the saloon crowd, OK, we settled on surely 25,000 but being a reporter, I wanna know, it if it is really 35,869 or what.
Trace: “Swing batter batter swing. Swing batter, batter….”
Let’s just say this …..there are lots and lots of people here! Ronnie Gilley has pulled off the biggest event of the year, bar none. BamaJam 2008 is a huge success!!!!
Once again we have a great breeze! This is great, folks!!!
Trace: “This ain’t no thinkin’ thang….”
