My List of Concerts

My original idea for this blog was to document all of the shows I have attended.  It would be a waste of good times and good stories if I didn't document them in some way or form.  I am planning on doing an entry for each show although the older shows are starting to escape my memory.  It wasn't like we had cell phone cameras for photos back in the day either.  Nevertheless, I will do my best to remember.  I have been starting with the most recent shows as they are still fresh in my mind.  Any concert that I have already posted has a link to the entry.  Enjoy and I will see you at the next show!
