Today Susan Mingus passed (Charles Mingus’ wife).
She’s kept Mingus’ torch alive ever since his death with ~3 Mingus big band iterations always going in NYC and on tour.
Two big blows for jazz this week.

Watched a Tom Petty concert “Live From Gatorville”. Man so many good songs! He used a different guitar on almost every song.

I saw Loretta Lynn at the 9:30 Club when I was four months pregnant with my daughter. Loretta wore that big blue ballgown. I wore something big and loose.
She was magnificent. I was nauseous, but didn’t want to leave.

Sorry to hear Robert Gordon has left the building. He was a rockabilly great and one hell of a rocker.
Keep knocking ‘em dead, man.

I’m still debating whether or not to see Guns N’ Roses (Axl, Slash and Duff) when they tour here. I loved them so much and they were my first concert as a teenager but I feel too loyal to the original line-up. I would have love to see Speedwagon back in the day.

Go see them. Life has a tendency to get in the way. I had tickets to see them but the gigs were cancelled due to Covid etc.
Then touring started again but the gig I had a ticket to was cancelled again when Axl fell sick.
It is better to see them and say “meh” than to live a life of what ifs

I love this forum, where we all enable/encourage eachother 
D Ticket purchased! I like the two support bands (The Chats and The Cosmic Psychos) so it will be a great night out.

I don’t know @Barney , just a bunch of no names on a pretty poster 
To the point though, @StartedAt48 , go see them.
I saw Maiden two weeks ago with my 11 year old (her first rock concert) and the boys still got it. It was the experience of a lifetime for her, and I got to see my favorites. You may be pleasantly surprised.
