Since my son is working up north this summer, I don't have any sense of what bands he likes are coming to Columbus this summer. The only band that I know is coming is Flogging Molly, who returns to the Dublin Irish Festival. I'll defeinitely go see them! <BR/>But we haven't even discussed yet the latest parellel in our lives - Cleveland sports. Spent most of my "Wonder Bread years - ages two through twelve" in Cleveland (before moving back to the family hometown, Athens), and am still one of the Indians biggest fans. Loved your recent note about Cleveland sports. <BR/>And I've got to get around to adding an initial to my first name.

I have a daughter about to graduate from high school as well. Will your daughter attend O.U.? If so, she'll have to meet my daughter, who will be a Freshman Bobcat in the fall. For that matter, we really do need to meet someday as well. Let me know if any upcoming concerts look appealing to you, and I'll do the same. It would be great to grab a beer and engage in Old Fart rock 'n roll. <BR/><BR/>Scott #3, back in the day (1982, specifically) it was fashionable to write one's own marriage ceremony. So that's what I did. I wrote the music, too, which my friend Mark performed. The lyrics were all mine, but the tune was very definitely based on Springsteen's "Atlantic City." I would love to hear The Hold Steady's take on that song. It remains one of my favorites.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-4220364829884540682007-05-21T16:20:00.000-04:002007-05-21T16:20:00.000-04:00They also did a version of "Atlantic City."

The photo showed Craig Finn and others during an encore singing Rosalita with Bruce. Craig looked almost giddy. If a CD of this concert ever gets put on sale, please let us know immediately!!!scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359059153710430559noreply@blogger.com
