My Back Pages

"Music" is all about the music that has moved me over the years, and especially the live performances. It's neither comprehensive nor chronological. At the time most of these concerts happened, there were no social media, and no smartphone cameras. But now there's the internet, and there are other people like me who've been documenting their concert experiences. Back then, in some cases, my writerly instincts kicked in and I made concert notes in a small notebook I always carried with me. And I occasionally wrote impressionistic reviews of what I had seen (sometimes for publication). Those notes and reviews have not survived. Archival skills have never been one of my strong suits.

So I will honor and document those times, and provide some historical context and texture for those who didn't share my good fortune to have been there. Here's the first one, about The Band and Van Morrison.

Other posts that have some relation to music appear from time to time in my Blog.
