When I was a child I spoke as a child, But all I heard was how I should get ahead,
Now growing up it ain't anything but all This indecision with these debts and doubts
And worries hanging over my head. When I was a child I spoke as a child,
I wish I could remember what I said.

Yes Günter, I feel very blessed to have witnessed so much great music this past year. I actually missed one or two shows because frankly, I couldn't remember the dates. The one common thing that I found in most of the artists that I saw, is there willingness to chat with us, the masses. Everyone from Joe to Back Door Slam to Albert Cummings, Eric Sardinas, Chris Duarte to "The Rock", Joe's name for Walter Trout, all are gracious beyond belief! It's so gratifying to talk to these people who travel world wide and spread the gift of music to us all.


And Rev. Paul.....funny, it seems some of those shows listed are the same shows I listed. Hmmm, did we meet each other there? wink
