For the second time in as many weekends, a performer for the Choctaw Casinos gave an incredible show to a packed crowd in spite of suffering from extreme illness. National singer/songwriter Darryl Worley gave a stellar performance at the Event Center in the Grant, Okla., Choctaw Casino. And, he did it was grace and charm that, as did his music, kept his audience completely on his side. (Last week, Kevin Fowler performed at the Gilley’s in Durant, equally ill, but equally as entertaining and dedicated.)
Worley explained at a pre-show meet-n-greet gathering with fans, that he was on the healing side of the illness, that his doctor said it was not the flu or pneumonia, and that he was taking the meds prescribed for him, which began helping pretty quickly.
Darryl Worley
Worley is the songwriter, or co-songwriter in some cases — of a multitude of national hits, including “I Miss You My Friend,” “Have You Forgotten?,” and “Awful, Beautiful Life,” which he took to the No. 1 spot himself. He also wrote, and performed Friday night, “Sounds Like Life To Me,” which went into the Top 20 and resulted in a high-placing video as well. He told the crowd at the Event Center that the expression was one of his dad’s favorite, which he heard often when growing up and complaining of the bad things that happen.
The next coming up at this great, friendly Event Center is Joe Diffie, who will play on Friday, Feb. 27, with the show starting at 8 p.m. Tickets for all these concerts are available through Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000.
