This has been a week of great "Live Music" for me.
On Tuesday night I attended the Whitmore Family Benefits Concert at Meydenbauer Center featuring a great local band called About Face. Michael Whitmore (Redmond 1st ward member) was a former drummer in the band. Regrettably, Mike lost his lovely wife Deborah to that nasty disease, Cancer. She was a wonderful lady and her influence will be greatly missed. I wish I'd have had more of an opportunity to get to know her.
Anyway, the band played some great classic rock tunes. I sang along to just about everyone. I have to say "Hotel California" by the Eagles was one of my faves.
It's funny...me and music. If there is any sort of beat playing anywhere within earshot of me, I have to move to it... somehow. Even if it's just my big toe tapping. I remember my cousin Keith Starnes saying something like, "Sheesh Shelly, you can't not move to the beat." It's true. Something happens inside and I have to act on it.
The band, About Face will be paying again July 17 in Sammamish. You can bet I'll be there.
The second live music experience was last night. My roommate Jen came home from work on Friday with two tickets to San Saint Michelle's Saturday night concert with Earth, Wind & Fire. EARTH, WIND & FIRE!!! Her boss gave them to her thinking we might enjoy them. Thank you Larry! What a fun night it was. Guess which one was my favorite? Yep! September. They played so many songs that I just love. The people watching was pretty amazing too. I'm pretty sure Jen and I were the only sober girls in that sea of people.
I might have to consider seeing more live music. It is sooooo fun.
Today it's 89 degrees in our apartment. HOT, HOT, HOT!
