Ron White, an original member of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, was in Springfield, Illinois, Friday night for a show at The Center. White stopped on his way to dinner at the local Bennigan's to pose for this shot and sign an 8 x 10. He was sporting some extra snazzy saddle shoes and I noted their attractiveness, to which he replied with a grin, "them's my drinkin' shoes."

I then headed north about an hour to Bloomington, Illinois, to get this photograph with Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin who was in concert at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts. Colvin, who attended SIU-Carbondale, gladly signed a copy of her 1996 release, "A Few Small Repairs," as she departed the venue. The disk features "Sunny Came Home," the song that earned her two Grammy's for Record of the Year and for Song of the Year.
