Your taste in music; it rocks.
Man, I don’t think I could survive Celtic Women live. I end up falling in love every time they show up on the tube.
There is an abundance of great music out there.
Million Dollar Quartet
loved it!
Sure, from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. You can keep all the crap that came afterwards. And it's not an "age thing", the music simply sucks today.
If you don't mind, how old are you?
Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell in a show that pretty much covered their careers from the early 70s up to today (and Richard Thompson opened for them).
Saw Alan Jackson on the day George Jones died. Jones was his friend and idol, and Jackson choked back the tears to deliver a heartfelt version of ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’, which was worth the price of admission just by itself.
The good thing about both the shows, aside from the fact they featured artists with actual talent, was that excellent seats were available for really reasonable prices, something hard to find if you go to a show featuring the latest flash-in-the-pan pre-fab ‘stars’.
celtic woman at red rocks amphitheater in colorado. not a big concert or club goer anymore.

Saw this group a few years ago and am looking forward to another show in April 2014 in Albuquerque. A fantastic show for people who like real music, dance and song.
Lol there is NO way not to fall in immediate infatuation when the violinist appears on the stage. A love, lovely irish elf.
Saw the show at Harrah's last August...awesome!
The national tour plays at UT-Tyler on February 13, an early 12th birthday present for my son.
My 3YO grandson's favorite song is "See You Later Alligator".
I am 55. I never listen to the radio anymore and I Don’t follow the top 40. Have never heard of most of the artists who hit the charts. I am into mostly Americana type stuff: folk, bluegrass, country rock, county soul. So much good stuff. Lots of boring crap as well, granted.
Train, with Gavin DeGraw and the Script
Saw Yes, Musical Box & Renaissance at Yestival
Saw Burning Bridget Cleary at Celtic Fest
Saw Stereofidelics, & a slew of cover bands doing 60’s Britpop at Musikfest
Yestival was the only concert ticket I bought - the rest were open to the public.
Charlie Robison
Jason Boland
The Damn Quails
Turnpike Troubadors
WC Handy Blues fest in Henderson KY which included “The voices of the Wetland Allstars” with Big chief Monk Boudreaux & Cyril Neville.
she dances around barefoot whilst fiddling!!! Elf-like is a perfect description.
To tell you the truth, I basically gave up on country music a few decades ago. But I'm sure as you say, that there are some good people around these days in that arena. It's definitely more likely to come from there than from pop or anywhere else today.
I personally like a wide range of music from the past, including classic rock (Stones, Led Zep, Journey, etc), classic soul (Motown, Sam Cooke, Righteous Bros, etc), classic country (Merle Haggard, Bobby Bear, Conway Twitty), doo wops (Dion & the Belmonts, Duprees, Johnny Maestro, etc), and even some of the old crooners, like Dean Martin.
Check out The Time Jumpers......you won’t be disappointed.
Mark Knopfler in Vegas, awesome!!!
Time Jumpers? Sounds promising. I’ll give it a shot. :)
