Concerts I've Been To

A list of concerts I've been to.  Or at least as many of them as I can remember.

1.  Shaun Cassidy.  Stop that laughing right now!  My friend and I went and saw him when we were in high school.  She was madly in love with him.  I was only mildly in love with him.  But I still squealed like a good fangirl!

2.  Seals & Croft.  At Texas A&M.  I've always liked their music.

3.  The Beach Boys.  Twice. I saw them at A&M, and I saw them last March.  They were the entertainment at a party for supporters of Mitt Romney, which we were invited to.  I was so close to Mike Love (pictured), it was great!  Although, he's actually a lecherous old man, who flirted shamelessly with all the young girls there.  But the songs were still great! (And I got to meet Mitt Romney). 

4.  Barry Manilow.  Back in the early 80's.  My sister and I took my mother.  We all loved it.

5.  Billy Joel.  Also back in the early 80's.  He was very energetic back then.  I don't know if he still runs around the stage like he used to.

6.  Josh Groban.  I saw him with Kimberly.  He truly has a beautiful voice.

7.  Michael Buble.  I have seen him three times.  I love his concerts! They are so much fun.  The second time I saw him was with Kimberly, my sister, her girls, and friends of Kimberly's.  We were way in the back, but because of the cuteness of my sister's girls, we were moved way up front by one of Michael's people!  So at the end of the concert, we got to be part of the group invited to swarm to the front of the stage.  It was great! 

8.  John Denver.  Definitely my favorite artist to ever see in concert. I saw him five times (that's right, five).  I first saw him in high school.  I last saw him a month or two before he died.  If you only know his early works, you missed a lot. His later songs were much better, and his voice got much richer and fuller as he got older.  I saw him twice with the Houston Symphony, and he was incredible in that venue.  I wish he was still around so I could go see him in concert again.  

**Edit** 9.  I forgot one!  Although since including this one may ruin my reputation, maybe I should leave him off!  But I won't.  Clay Aiken!  There, I wrote it!  Kimberly and I saw Clay Aiken in concert, and we loved him!  It was shortly after his American Idol sojourn, before he got so strange.  It was a fun concert and I'm glad we went.  However, I don't think I would go see him again (I do have some pride).

I think that's all of them.  As you can see, I am a "pop-y" sort of gal.  No heavy metal or country for me!  But I'm okay with that.
