I was referring to Laurie Anderson as a lower case flash in the pan. I vaguely remember the band with that name and I guess they were also a flash in the pan.

First concert: Kingston Trio at Melodyland (circle theater) in Anaheim, CA early 60's. My older sister was a big fan of folk music so the whole family went. I was between 8 & 10.
Best concert: So many! Sammy Hagar & the Waboritos sat on stage as part of Cabo Wabo Cantina set up at Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, CA Pre concert meet & greet and got a big "yard" glass of a Cabo Wabo margarita with refills onstage. Also took the first annual Sammy Hagar cruise to Cabo San Lucas. The band, minus Sammy (he didn't like cruising) plus lead singer for Montrose, played every day and the ship was stocked with Cabo Wabo tequila by Sammy. Sammy met us at the dock in Cabo and we all walked to his club. Played private concert for almost 3 hours. Another best: Elton John at Dodger Stadium in mid 70's. This was the concert he debuted his Donald Duck and Dodger costumes. Garth Brooks - Honda Center in Anaheim CA. Sat in 10th row. He is such an entertainer. Have seen him many times and also his residence in Vegas when he announced he was going on tour again after he had been retired. Eagles/Linda Rondstat/Jackson Browne Anaheim stadium with festival seating about 1975. Was within a few feet of stage. This was with Don Felder back in the day. Moody Blues with full orchestra playing Days of Future Passed album in San Diego at Cal State San Diego amphitheater. Bruce Springsteen during his Born in USA tour. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band at the Forum Los Angeles on his retirement tour 2019---this was a bucket list item. Every summer we go to the Happy Together Tour at the Orange County Fairgrounds/Pacific Amphitheatre led by the Turtles with various acts. Gary Puckett, Chuck Negron from Three Dog Night, Grass Roots (they were the best!), Association, Cowsills, Herman & the Hermits, Mark Lindsey from Paul Revere & the Raiders, Buckinghams, The Vogues, Classics IV, Boxtops, the Archies, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, Lead singer from Grand Funk Railroad. |

Hearing loss: born with it, the damage is degenerative and progressive. I can still hear, just can't always differentiate words when people are talking and sometimes I don't notice that my cat is yapping at me beside the desk (she yaps, she doesn't meow like normal cats).
Laurie Anderson: For years, back when we had actual answering machines, my message was: "Hi. I'm-not-home-right-now. But if you want-to-leave-a-mes-sage, Just. Start. Talk-ing. At. The. Sound. Of. The. Tone (a-ah-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaa-ah-ah-ah." I was raised on classical music; we had a bust of Beethoven on the baby grand in the living room, dad was a concert pianist, mom had an excellent ear. I played viola for 4 years and substituted on the sousaphone when they were shorthanded in the marching band. We had box seats at the Met, so technically La Boheme would've probably been my first "concert." And yes I was at the Spit. And at 33 Landsdowne. I think that was the place that had a roller rink on the second floor? |
