Danny Barnes, Mark Rubin, and Bob Grant. They were spectacular. We need more tubas in music.

Aaaarrrrrg, Jones Beach Theater!!!! I was a touring audio engineer for about 20 years and I used to dreed that shed. I can’t really give a reason why except the strong fish smell that shows up as the sun goes down.

My most memorable experience there was at a hair band fest I worked in the late 80’s. Sorry I won’t name names, but there’s this amazing guitar player from Sweden who’s playing that day and who is notoriously arrogant and just a pure pain in the A to work with. He pushed enough of the crews around that day so we had a group kidney tap meeting, about 15 of us, in his beer/soda cooler while he and his guys were getting ready to go on stage.

Looking back on it now, it was funny to get him, but the rest of his band, and crew, were pretty decent people, and some have gone onto big things.

I won 2 tickets to La Boheme opera in San Francisco when I called into the classical music station I was listening to & had the right trivia answer. But I don’t like opera, so I gave the two tickets to my wife’s uncle who loves opera.

My lovely spouse is loopy for Michael Buble, so we went to his recent show in Baltimore. The guy’s got talent. Impressed me.

Beach Boy song writer Brian Williams at the Hollywood Bowl was the best concert I saw all year.

Good show, he played most of his big hits only a few “new stuff” and the Chuck Berry cover “Johnny B. Good” (to show off how talented his guitar player was..... wow!).

Great musical ensemble, the Hollywood Bowl is a great venue, Brian's voice aint what it used to be but he knew it and faded out on the difficult notes (and he had supurb back up).

All in all a great time was had by all.

Seen, this past Aug. at Clifden, Co. Galway - Music at the Crossroads.
This traditional Irish music and dance performance is magnificent. They are currently on tour in the USA.

Actually, Geddy Lee was complaining that night that the stage there is just too damn big.

Your list isn’t lame at all. With your band, do you sing, play an instrument or both?
