Concerts

I love live music. It could be why both of my sons became musicians. Tomorrow night we will go see one of my favorites, Santana. My youngest son rebelled against my rock and his mother's pop. He is full on Jazz. Through him I am pretty amazed at all the young, really outstanding Jazz bands there are. In a few weeks we will go see Lettuce and Snarky Puppy.

20 rows back from the stage. Pretty sure my 17 year old is the youngest here.

Ha! I was posting live videos from the concert on FB and a student I taught when she was in 3rd grade (now late 20s) messaged me and said, Hey Mr Beeblebrox, I have tickets this Thursday for Counting Crows but I have to go out of town on business. I know you and Mrs Beeblebrox go to a lot of concerts, do you want the tickets? 
 

So I have tickets in my Ticketmaster account now for Counting Crows.

That is a great selection. I would have loved to see The Clash in their prime. That had to be great shows.

Carlos is 74 and still killing it on stage. I did not know until this morning when a coworker told me he performs with his wife on the main drum kit. Cindy Blackman was the drummer for Lenny Kravetz. She is 61 and killed it last night. If you have Facebook, this was from last night.
