I love music, but, unfortunately I can't play any musical instruments. While music with good earphones sounds great, there is no better experience than a live concert. Below is a list of the concerts I have seen. Some need special mention:
1. I had centre front row seats for some amazing acts which include Pink Floyd, Tina Turner, Paul McCartney, George Michael, Moody Blues, David Bowie, Richard Marx, Prince, Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark (OMD), REO Speedwagon, James Brown, Bon Jovi, Elton John, and others.
2. Had the opportunity to meet (talk with and/or handshake) Bryan Ferry (Roxy Music), Pete Agnew (drummer for Nazareth), one of the Milli Vanilli guys (sorry!), Neil Diamond, Johnny Clegg, Joe Dolan, and Little Richard. Who was the big catch...probably Little Richard - he is a legend who inspired so many of today's top artists! "Good golly miss Molly!"
