(Michael Buble)Music...is a big part of our everyday lives. This is true for most people. I associate artists and songs to certain people in my life. For instance, my Momma loved Patsy Cline...she played her music a lot when I was a kid...when I miss her....I play Patsy. My kids, now associates, Patsy to me. (My Mother passed before they were born.)
I took my kids to both of their first concerts...Sara's was Back Street Boys and Adam's was Ozzfest-- mainly to see Judas Priest. I grew up listening to all kinds of music. I had 6 older siblings and they all listened to different genres. My first concert was Motley Crue. (My Mother didn't approve!) Dwen & I love going....one of our first dates was to see Little River Band.
(Garth Brooks)We don't get all drunked up in the parking lot...my girlfriends and I don't get all dressed up in slinky outfits....I spend the money to see artist I love and to be entertained.
(Bon Jovi)I take my camera to just about every show too!
(Van Halen)I couldn't tell you how many concerts I've been too total....lost count so very long ago. I love music....it can move me more than art or poetry....a beautiful song can make you take a moment, remember and breathe!

Carol, such a fun post! A couple of weeks ago Bob and I sat down and tried to remember the concerts we have been to since we've been married. We made a sidebar post on my blog. We have seen a lot of the same people!
Wonderful post! Great photos! M is, indeed, for music!!
I love musis too! My hubby has over 1000 CD's and we have i-pods, and XM radio and every other device that can play tunes!
My son loves to do to concerts, he has been 3 times to Bonnaroo and Lolypolusa(sp)in Chicago. I think that we have passed our love of music to our kids!
I haven't been to a ton of concerts but the ones I went to I can remember so clearly. Lover Boy was my first (does anyone even remember them?) I loved VanHalen - great show!
Where would we be without music. I am an eclectic music lover. It's fun with teenagers now because I get to hear their songs they like...and I like some of them too. Joni
My husband got tickets for us to see Michael Buble! I am so excited!!
I used to be more ardent about music. It can be very moving.
My husband and I used to love to go to concerts. My biggest regret is he bought tickets for us to go see Pink Floyd in Pittsburgh and I was mad at him and didn't go ;-( He went and still has the ticket I didn't use. I never did get a chance to see them live. What a fool I was.
Oh gosh, I used to LIVE for concerts back in the 80's. I've saved every single ticket stub. All heavy metal, R-n-R shows. Cheap Trick was my 1st & I went gung-ho after that. AND, remember how inexpensive the tickets were? I remember paying $7.50 to see AC/DC!
so fun to go see the musicians in person :D
Hi Carol.
I've always thought your love of music was so cool!
Thanks for this magnificent, melodic stop in my journey through Alphabe-Thursday's letter "M"!
A+ for you
And a big hug for Dwen
Great posts. I love music and concerts, I lost count too. The last one, not all that long ago, was Alice Cooper.
The Road to Here
I've never been to a concert but I have been to album signing events and it's always exciting to see the artist in person
great post on music even if your taste is a bit different from mine
thanks for your visit!
It is really amazing how music can bring back so many memories! And how we can remember a song, even if it has been soooo long since we heard it! I love music, and my hubby, mom's family, and our children are so musically gifted...they all have amazing voices and can play instruments... hm...so I dont know how with all that talent around me, why I "make a joyful noise" or find myself clapping a little offbeat... oh well :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
(Thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments :o) I am happy you enjoyed the artwork that I do. Please come back any time)
What an important "M" for all of us! great post! I hope you'll drop over to see my Mini Cupcake PinCushions!
I love music too ... and i swear the reason i am losing my hearing is from all of those concerts ... I took my daughter to her first concert as well .... such fun!
What a great post! Music is a huge part of our lives, we listen to anything and everything except rap. I've tried, honestly, but I just don't get it. Our daughter is about to graduate from the UNT College of Music as a band director. Loved this post! Kathy
Yes, there's nothing like music to get you all pumped up and ready to go. If I'm in a bad mood I turn on the music.
Concert going is so memorable! The music and the experience. I've heard Garth Brooks concerts were quite unique!
Isn't it interesting just how big a part music plays in our lives, even though we may not realize it? I know I listen to music every single day and take it for granted, but if I accidentally leave my earphones at home, I feel the difference acutely!
Looks like you've been to some awesome shows!! Do you have a favorite??
