Jake Owen played Prospectors 10/24

Jake Owen played Prospectors last Saturday night. It was a really good show! He played all the songs I had hoped like Don't Think I Can't Love You, Yee Haw, Startin' With Me, Something About A Woman and 8 Second Ride. It was also great to hear his lesser known songs like Tell Me and Cherry On Top as well as a few newbies. It seems a lot of country singers break out a couple oldies... Jake did a little snippet of Luckenbach Texas which I loved and Man with a Slow Hand... which totally jived with Jake's sexiness. [@linedancegirl fans herself, whoo]. His drummer had this humorously groovy engaging factor going on.
Jake Owen let out the spunky side when he busted out with some Fresh Prince of Bell Air, Snoop Dog among his old school hip hop meets country music medley.
It was a really good show, love his music! I would definitely go see him again!!

Beverly Hillbillies
( Elly May, Granny, Jane Hathaway, Jed Clampett, Jethro)

(from associatedcontent.com)
This is an easy costume to pull off with either a big group of friends or just a few of you. The guys can dress up in overalls or jeans with a wife beater. The ladies can dress up in jean cut off shorts and little half tops with pigtails in there hair. You can either dress up as hillbillies in general or copy the style from the movie or television show.
Elly May Clampett

Some items:

Cowboy, Cowgirl

(from madnessmansion.com)
Jeans or denim skirt, a western type shirt, cowboy boots, a cowboy hat and a bandana in your pocket or around your neck. If you have spurs that fit your boots you can use these as well. You could cut a small piece of rope (enough to make in a circle 2-3 times) for a lasso.
