Johnny Cash at HOB New Orleans - buddy and I were at the front of the stage at his feet and at the end I had him sign the Life magazine from 1969 with him on it.

Eric Clapton at HOB New Orleans - just awesome!

BB King at Club Ebony - many times...the best was one time I was on the front and he was standing right in front of me and as he finished The Thrill is Gone, he handed me his pick and walked off the stage

U2 Joshua Tree Tour - 1987 I think in Houston...awesome show

Ben Harper and Innocent Criminals in San Antonio at the Majestic Theater on their last tour together. Just mind blowing show!

John Prine and Levon Helm at Red Rocks - huge Levon fan and wanted to see him so went out there for this show....best venue and was privledged to see these two there - the night before I saw Ziggy Marley and 311 there...that was a great weekend.
