I was re-loading my MP3 player with music tonight. I use it most often while running 5.5 miles every other evening for part of my workout regiment.As I sorted through my 5000 or so Mp3 files, two things occurred to me. First, I have way too many MP3 files with bad tags. Much of my music library is Asian music and the tags are often in non-English text. So this really screws things up for an American.
Secondly, I remembered some of the live music concerts I have attended throughout my life. I thought I would try to list them here, partly for others but mostly for myself. Wow...it's really hard to remember these. Let's see if I can remember them all. I will add to this list as I remember those I haven't recalled. Of course, this list only consists of popular music performers, not instrumental concerts. I grew up in a family filled with musicians so I could never remember all the instrumental concerts, or musicals I have seen.
