Concert Stories #4: Reba McEntire

Linda Davis signed my ticket stub!























Reba McEntire
Opener: Bill Engvall
Special Guest: Linda Davis
Wisconsin State Fair
August 14, 1994
Age 11

Reba McEntire is by far my favorite female country singer.  My family and I saw her at the Wisconsin State Fair in 1994 (and if you’ve read my other four concert stories you’ll notice my family is big on the state fair – it rules).  This concert is very fuzzy for me due to my age.  I remember we sat on the track off to the side, but don’t remember Bill Engvall at all, which is a bummer because I love stand-up comedy, but I do remember that big red hair of Reba’s!  My favorite song of Reba’s is of course Fancy, probably not the most appropriate songs for an 11 year old to like but oh well!  My other favorite songs of hers are The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia and The Greatest Man I Never Knew.  I love how feisty Reba is when she sings and whenever I hear her music it brings a smile to my face! Now I’m guessing that night Linda Davis came out and also opened for her and sang the duet Does He Love You with Reba on stage.  I can’t tell you for sure, but I do have pictures from getting to meet Linda!  Given that black strap around my neck I must have taken more pictures, but these are the only two that I have lying around.


UPDATED: I found a picture of Reba in all her glory!!!!

There she is! Red hair and white sparkles with the spot lights shining down!

Linda Davis signing a fans hat! I'm on the right side with the glasses and short hair waiting patiently.

Getting my ticket signed by Linda Davis! (me in the yellow hoodie and my brother is to the right of me)
