The One

The One, one of my all time favorite Gary Allan songs. Here's a cell phone video I snagged of Gary Allan performing 'The One' back in October of 2010 at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia. Look close for Lucy, Gary's doodle on stage.

I am posting it in honor of  Gary Allan coming to Atlantic City this weekend (3/5/2011) and my best friend's engagement last weekend. 

Enjoy!
