My son's preschool graduation is this weekend and as a result I've been thinking about "Days of Graduation" all week!

Re: Tallahassee, FL 5-1-16

I've only seen the future birds once after a football game; they played my alma mater and about 10 people (no exaggeration) came. I'd really like to see them again. I took a video of the concert that afternoon and I've probably watched it 100 times since then!

Re: Beale St Music Festival/Memphis in May this weekend

I only went Friday/Saturday but had a great time. While Beale St Music fest may not be my all time favorite I like the variety in acts/generes. I really liked Luther Dickenson last night. Lots of other musical goodness as well.... Paul Simon is playing tonight but I didn't get a Sunday night ticket.

Outside of the concerts getting to meet some of the folks from this site with whom I've talked for years on-line was great, and hanging out and listening to a band at the Ni...

Re: Who's Everyone Seeing Live?

Last night I saw a local band (local to Tipton County, Tennessee) in a bar that reminded me of The Boar's Nest. The band did all covers and was quite good, and the best part is that about every fourth song was a DBT cover. The band was called, Gilt Edge...named after a local community here. They do ...

Elvis Presley- Cold Kentucky Rain

So if you asked me six months ago if I was an Elvis fan, I would have replied, "I appreciate what he did for music," or with a similar quip; however, for some reason, unbeknownst to me,I have recently become obsessed with this song. I believe I either heard it on Outlaw Country (Sirius) or perhaps a...

Re: Birmingham - Lyric Theatre - April 7-8-9, 2016

My father-in-law and I just bought tickets for all three nights. Warning...avalible seats are limited. I don't think I've ever seen a seated DBT show so I'm curious. See you in April.

We got the balcony two nights I believe because seats were so limited.
