Mmmbopping in Fort Worth!



My happy, happy girl!  Tonight we celebrated Frankie!  For her birthday in August we got her tickets to see Hanson at Bass Hall in Ft. Worth.  She has been counting down the days for this special evening. 

Hanson is a pop rock band from Tulsa, Oklahoma, formed by brothers Isaac (guitar & vocals), Taylor (keyboards & drums), and Zac (drums & vocals).  They are best known for the 1997 hit song "MMMBop" from their debut album. They have sold over 16 million records worldwide and have had 8 top 40 albums and 5 top 40 singles in the US! 

But, more importantly Hanson was the first concert for Frankie. Frankie, her friend Alicia and I camped out for tickets to see Hanson for two days.  We ended up with third row center stage seats for there show on September 24, 1998 at the ORU Mabee Arena.  It was a dream for the two thirteen year old girls!  They sang through every song.  Ms. Cindy and I had a blast with them!  

Tonight was such a wonderful evening to share some of that with Abigail.  The audience is a little older but they still screamed, cheered, and sang along despite the much classier venue! When MmmBop came out, brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson were 16, 14 and 11, respectively — and, were widely viewed as a prefab boy band. Now twenty years later they have reworked their music to symphonic pieces with a rich surge of strings and percussion.  But for my little girl, it was still those cute boys with the big smiles singing her favorite songs! Perfect! 


David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brothers as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments, on harps and lyres and cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.  1 Chronicles 15:16
