Lucky Man


Here's an incomplete list of bands and musicians that I have had the opportunity to see perform live over the years, (Comedians not included). I don't remember all of them, especially lots of opening acts, but it provides a pretty good assortment and demonstrates how fortunate I have been to live in the crossroads of the West, (SLC), as well as the SF Bay Area. The list will continually be updated.

The Todd Rundgren show that I saw was at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, CA on September 7, 2007 - seen Rundgren's guitarist, Jesse Gress with the Tony Levin Band a handful of times too.
