Summer of Geezers Concert Reviews
Hello to all of you live music lovers out there! Most of you know me from my monthly article on baseball called Rounding the Bases. Appreciate all of you who have read my musings and given me encouragement to continue learning this craft! My speed limit birthday of 55 celebrated this year is rapidly fading in the rear view. Father time is taking its toll on most of my musical heroes as well. Just in the past year, we have lost many greats. Some of my favorites that have passed are Robbie Robertson, Jeff Beck, David Crosby, and Dickey Betts. This summer, some of the greatest musicians ever and a big part of the soundtrack of my life are hitting the road for perhaps one final tour. This will not be a hero worshiping series. If a group or artist is not up to snuff, I will call them out. A grade for each show will be given on a 1 to 5 cane scale.
