.....even if the Mary Chapin-Carpenter concert at Asheville's Orange Peel was 'bumped' for this year ...my dear friend did get a full refund ...and I still have the 'souvenir ticket'.

I have attended some great concerts this year (2007)...and will list them here...and post follow up comments later on ...down the road.
My most recent was: 'Creedence Clearwater Revisited'.....which was 'fronted'...by the original Percussionist & Bass Guitarist. John Fogerty is on a SOLO TOUR....and I have read that his NEW ALBUM...is Vintage Fogerty & CCR ....however.... 'his' former band ...is outstanding ....and has a lead vocalist who covers Mr. Fogerty with a similar 'Cajun Soul'...and ....the 'Revisited' LEAD GUITARIST is one outstanding musician. (Some of his solo riff's took me back to Pink Floyd ...while other songs ...like 'Fortunate Son' and 'Proud Mary' ....were spot-on Creedence.)
As legend Chuck Berry says: LONG LIVE ROCK 'n ROLL....(and country, too!)
