Kyra, thank you....Honestly though, I really wasn't a real concert type guy. Most of those concerts fell in my lap where friends had an extra ticket and asked if I wanted to go. Two of the times I say Dylan were in Coffee Houses...Gosh, I stumbled (literally) into a coffee house in the Village back in the late 60's when I was in NYC for the weekend with Marines in my unit and we got to see Leonard Cohen....That was most likely my favorite musical experience except for the Red Rocks concert and that was out of the world neat.
I was lucky I guess for I have always enjoyed a very, very wide diversity in music. My father was a violinist (not by trade) and my oldest brother a concert pianist so I grew up in a home where classical music was the norm. But again, I generally didn’t like the huge crowds but got to see some great musicians all over the country. When I was in LA a friend asked me if I’d ever seen Neil Diamond….Heck, I jumped at those free tickets….
