My sister in law, Chriss, is a huge Rick Springfield fan. HUGE FAN! She loves “Jesse’s Girl” and when we found out he was playing at Hudson Gardens we had to go.  The girls joined us and as Paul pointed out we have forever ruined them because when asked what their first concert was they now have to say “Rick Springfield” and then inevitably be teased by their friends!

We had a really great time. It’s hard to pin-point my favorite part – when he laid down on the stageand complained about the altitude, when Chriss pointed out that he missed some of the lyrics, or the people….my goodness the people! There was a lot of rocking out to this guy and he’s now 61 years old!!

These two fine ladies on the left were fabulous — lots of high fives, hair whipping, air guitar, an air drum solo, and even a few “I LOVE YOU RICK!’s”

Rock on ladies, Rock on!

I like to think of myself as a really positive role model for my girls…..
