Posted on 01. Mar, 2010 by Josh Agerton.
It’s Monday. In five days Leslie and I are heading over to Columbus to hear Rascal Flatts and Darius Rucker in their “Unstoppable Tour” (a Valentines present for Leslie). Should be interesting. I’m not a huge country fan but I just love music of all kinds – and a good show. Need a little help [...]
