Before & After

Any Wheel of Fortune fans? (KT, I'm talking to you!) I have a Before & After puzzle for you:

J_ _ _ S   T _ YLOR   S _ _ _T

It's an easy one but I'll give you a minute.

Give up?  Maybe this helps. (Or completely gives it away.)



If you guessed "James Taylor Swift" - you're right!  Now you're probably wondering what the hell this has to do with anything. 

My amazing, too good to be true husband scored me tickets to see James Taylor AND Taylor Swift. I am beyond excited!!!  (In case you couldn't tell, I have sort of schizophrenic music taste.) We got great seats for boths shows - I can hardly wait.

I am a life long James Taylor fan. I grew up listening to James Taylor records (and later CDs) with my dad but have never had the chance to see him in concert. I am so excited to finally get the opportunity. Brian and my first dance at the wedding was to "You Are My Only One." (Well, sorta. We did two takes on the "first" dance. DJ played the wrong song first time around. It was pretty funny.)  It's not one of his best known songs so he probably won't play it at the concert but I know I'll love the show anyway. 

The Taylor Swift concert is in June and I am WAY more excited about it than I care to admit!  I'll probably be the only extremely pregnant 30 year old in a sea of tweens but I really don't care. I love her new CD, and well, everything else she sings.

What's the last concert you went to? Any concerts coming up that you're excited about?

I'm so jealous!!

My dream is to see Springsteen of course. We have a Miranda Lambert concert nearby but for some reason no one wants to go with me.

I think the last concert I went to was KOL in 2009...omg that's over a year ago..so lame.

I love Taylor Swift! Her concerts are always sold out before I can even think about buying tickets. You will have so much fun!

I have such random music tastes! I'm a country girl at heart (no, really, from the country!) and love me some country, but, I'll also be rockin' out to Muse or Nirvana on any given day. Ha!

Have soooo much fun!

I grew up listening to James Taylor with my dad too! We danced to "How Sweet It Is" for our father daughter dance. Have so much fun!

How nice to be completely surprised by great tickets. Have fun!

I've got two shows coming up in the summer that I'm excited about...Ray Lamontagne and Florence + The Machine.

I've only been to one concert in my life - Weezer. I do not do well in crowds.

So sweet! I am so jealous - I too have oddly diverse taste in music and I'd love to see both of these, ESP TSwift!

I went to see James when he was in town and it was AMAZING :) Love him!

I adore James Taylor and have since I was about 6. My parents always listened to him and one of my college boyfriends even brought me to a concert...we were the only ones under 40 there but I was so happy to hear him in person. I'm excited to hear I'm not the only 20something who has this love!

I am not even engaged, but I know one day when I do get married, my dad and I will dance to one of his songs!

Your husband is a good gift giver!
