At the top of Tuesday's performance, Vince Gill mentioned he was proud to be wearing blue jeans onstage at the Palladium -- Carmel's new concert hall characterized by Gill as a "fancy joint."
It turns out he was dressed to slay an appreciative audience. Full-service entertainer Gill made listeners laugh at his jokes, reminisce with his hits and marvel at musicianship that flowed from the Oklahoma native and his eight-member band.
Some of the humor could be found in lyrics such as, "If a tree fell in the forest and she didn't hear it, would I still be wrong?"
