Rock n roll lives! Bonus, the bass player was playing a Series 2 Alembic Bass looked like quilted maple with front red leds.

She used to be able to get all sorts of free tickets (now she's a chiropractor). It really is a small world sometimes. dlbydgtl Member Username: dlbydgtl Post Number: 86 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Monday, March 22, 2010 - 1:51 pm:    Oh wow, KBIA is correct. certainly is a small world. As you wife can appreciate what goes on. My daughter is working there while she goes to Grad. school. I would take in more shows but i live near peoria il and the drive is about 4-1/2 hours. However, heading down for B.B. King in late April. hydrargyrum Senior Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 769 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 - 5:10 am:    Funny enough, BB King was one of the free shows I was treated to. It was incredible to see him, but strangely enough, it was his flute player that really impressed me most at the show (Which as a guitar player was needless to say, a surprise). Columbia is a great town (easily the most interesting city in Missouri, for its size in my opinion). I graduated from MU with a B.A. in Chemistry, and a B.S. in Biochemistry, and now work there in the Environmental Health and Safety department (not to mention having met my wife there, and having married her on campus near Memorial Union). So anyway, you might say I have some fond associations with the school. Best of luck to you and your family. dlbydgtl Member Username: dlbydgtl Post Number: 87 Registered: 7-2008 Posted on Tuesday, April 27, 2010 - 7:29 pm:    Kevin, Now, i am heading back to MIZZO tomorrow to see B.B. King. Should be a good time. Jesse Hall is pretty cool venue. John
