I love a good concert. I still can't get use to the idea of a concert at a casino, however. But Wynonna's concert at the Motor City Casino in Detroit tonight went a long way toward helping me get over my "I can't believe I'm going to a concert at a casino" phobia. My music tastes are quite eclectic. However, country and rap have been notably absent from my IPOD playlists. About five years ago I watched a Wynonna concert on DVD and "fell in love" with 
Wynonna. The DVD concert told the "story of her life" as she began her solo career. My best friend and partner absolutely loves Wynonna, so it was a natural Christmas gift to give the gift of a concert. Wynonna began the show with a Christmas song set that showed off her beautiful, expressive voice. Her passion and emotion bubbled through each song and transformed the casino all-purpose room into an intimate setting that felt like she was in my living room performing just for us. After a well developed set of faith-based Christmas songs, Wynonna took us down memory lane by performing some of her favorite songs. Her choices showed her range of music ability by performing songs from her country, jazz, blues, and pop selections. After her 100 plus minute performance show turned back to her Christmas songs to close out the show. Her mov
ing performance of Silent Night left the audience and myself with tears in our eyes and joy in our hearts. Perhaps when I consider future concerts I need to remember the venue is far less important than the heart and passion of the artist.
