Assuming he'd arrive on a Friday afternoon, the first thing I'd do when he pulled into my driveway, is go out to greet him, his family and his band, then I would wrap my arms around him in a warm and loving hug, give him a peck on the cheek, look into his eyes and tell him a heartfelt "thank you."

Next, I'd invite him into my house, have his bags brought into the spare bedroom, and ask him to have a seat in my favorite recliner. I'd give him the beverage of his choice and just let him unwind for as long as he would like. On Saturday, I would serve a simple breakfast consisting of fruit, muffins, coffee & juice. I would have a couple of ideas in mind to take him out into the great outdoors in the late morning or early afternoon, perhaps taking a stroll through the woods, a boat ride on the river, or just a drive down country roads looking for Bald Eagles, turkeys and deer. One thing I would not do, is ask him a bunch of questions about his life, career, songs, etc. Mainly, I would just try to make him as comfortable and at-ease as I possibly could. I would hope that when he left on Sunday morning after the concert, that he would have a few memories of a relaxing, enjoyable, and rejuvenating weekend, and the feeling that even though he was not at home, that he was with family.
