Music

OK ... I confess, I _LOVE_ music! There is no better pasttime than listening to and playing music, from rock'n'roll, to country, to, well, back to rock'n'roll. I make it a point each year to see bands of all types (mostly those from the 70's when I grew up). Below is a listing of the bands I have seen with links to their websites.
