My List of Concerts

My original idea for this blog was to document all of the shows I have attended.  I felt I had a few good stories and I thought it would be a shame 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 and photos do not exist.  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!
