Ralna English kissed me!
I was the stage manager for Lubbock’s Centennial concert Saturday night. It was a pleasure to work with Mac Davis, Joe Ely, David Gashen, Ralna English, Donnie Allison and a ton of other great artists… Not to mention I was super proud to watch my wife Amy play keyboards with them. I even got to play another practical joke on Mac… this time on stage.
It was a really long and grueling day (18 hours non-stop) of behind the scenes work. Once in a while, in the middle of those kinds of events, something happens that just makes everything worthwhile.
One of my jobs is to make sure everyone knows where they need to be and that they have everything they need. I guess Ralna took a liking to me because, as I handed her the microphone for her last song, she said, “You are just wonderful!” And then she planted one on my cheek.
It was a really sweet moment. And I wore that red lipstick on my cheek with pride.
