One weird thing I've always done in my journal is keep lists. Some of them are personal, some are not. I thought I'd start posting some of them in this blog that has pretty much died. I didn't want it to die, I've just been too busy. I need to make more time for journaling and blogging and things of that nature. I really do believe these things are important and therapeutic. Anyway, here is the first of many lists! These are bands/musicians I've seen live in my lifetime thus far. They are in no particular order as this list is not a ranking.

I know there are a few more. I've added to this list over time as we attend new shows and/or remember a band or musician I forgot. Music is a special thing and it does my soul well to listen to it. I like just about every genre of music, but I think my concert attendance will significantly decrease as the cost to attend shows is getting ridiculous and in my old age, I'm far too annoyed by the crowds at the shows and the parking lots. There are a few shows I'd go to see anytime I have the chance, otherwise, I'm happy with passing.
