Just landed tickets to see Stevie Wonder Nov 16 At Wells Fargo in Philly. Hate big building shows but now way I can pass this up. Last time I saw him was 86. Also, he is known to secretly practice in the town I live in so we are going to keep an eye out near the facility and hope to catch him.
Surprising my wife this Saturday for her birthday. Going to see Ace Frehley at the Borgata in AC.
First 2 shows of 2015 now scheduled. Tommy Emanuel @ Keswick on March 13 and Zappa Plays Zappa @ Keswick on April 11
Going to see Pat Metheny and his band in Annapolis on Sun.
Just added my 3rd show for 2015. Michael Schenker Group @ Sellersville on April 20.
Just added tickets to see the guys from That Metal Show. This will be our 2nd time seeing them. Hope they have a musical special guest again. Last time was guitar great Vinnie Moore.

I will be curious what you think of Howlin Rain. They are a band I discovered through Classic Rock magazine. Picked up their live album from last year and absolutely love it. “The Russian Wilds” is also a great studio album. They have never played my area that I am aware of.
I've seen Howlin Rain 3 times. They are fantastic live. I've been a fan since their first album.
I just got their new one "Mansion Songs" today. Quite a bit different than Russian Wilds. Much more in a The Band or Neil Young vein. A bit more twang to it. Very acoustic based as well.

Mulling over Townsend/Daltrey in Chicago. Daltrey, post-throat surgery, has greatly resurrected his range & breath control which piques my interest.

I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
