It's time for another writing prompt. I'll give you my response, post yours.
This continues in the Un-Journal journaling series.
Describe
the best concert you ever attended
I’ve been to tons of concerts in all musical
genres in my life, from gospel and jazz to rock, bluegrass, country and the blues. I’ve seen Al Jarreau and Elton John the most. The first time
I saw Jarreau (in Pittsburgh, Pa.), David Sanborn opened for him. That’s how long ago that
was!
If I have to pick just one … man, that’s hard. Elton John, Rod
Stewart, Chet Atkins and Babyface (how’s that for a quartet of conflicting
genres!) have been standouts. But I think the prize has to go to the late great
Luther Vandross, November 1993, playing the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va.
Luther came out and promised “I will never, ever mess with your
ticket money.” He then sang for hours! For those not familiar with him, listen to this Luther classic.
In addition to the music, and why I can remember the day, it was a
girls’ night out, we had great seats, and I’d just sold my first novel. So we
were celebrating both my sale to Arabesque and Luther that night.
