Where do I start?
Ideas are scarce, and the heat doesn't help.
Thus I'm opening with a list...
Many times I've been asked (and I boasted - I'll unashamedly admit) how many shows I've seen. But I somehow lost the count after #130 or #140, back in the 90s.
So, in anticipation of the next September shows (of which I'm seeing 3), I decided to re-count once and for all the gigs I've seen in the past.
Here comes the flood :-)
