Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............

A couple of weeks ago I went to Carla Bley performance on Irridium jazz club.
The second show was going to be different as I spoke with one of her musicians but I couldn't stay longer since I needed to let babysitter go home(it was already too late) but I realy miss listening her longer and longer.
A couple of years ago I missed performance of Trilok Gurtu never knowing back than that he IS so great.

Don't feel bad Ben. I blew off the Beatle's reunion which took place on 04/01/74 @ the K-Mart Mall (Iowa City, IA) because I thought the whole thing to be an April Fool's Day joke.

It's hard to believe but I missed Jay & the Techniques (of "Apple, Peaches Pumpkin Pie" fame) when they played the RKO in New Rochelle, NY circa 1967. To this day I walk around with a heavy heart.

BTW, the opening act was some guys from L.A./Canada called Buffalo Springfield. Maybe I'll catch them the next time around.

Biggest regret... some friends were going to see Keith Green a few miles away (I think it was in Tyler TX) and asked if I wanted to go. I had to work that night, but one of the friends even volunteered to work for me. I thought I would have plenty of chances to see him. I said "no" about 1 1/2 years later I was listening to the news on the radio and heard about the plane crash that took the life of Keith and two of his children.
Missing Rush in '78 due to a blizzard in Milw pales by comparison.

My biggest realistic regrets are missing (1) Rahsaan Roland Kirk and (2)Sun Ra and his Arkestra. I have no one to blame but myself, many a missed opportunity. Unrealistic regrets include the Beatles, Woodstock and The Concert For Bangladesh.
