New Year's Meme

Ok, I was going to do the Top Five from Music Memoirs, but I don't really know what my Musical Resolutions are, other than buying some of the CDs I mentioned in my last post. And I've already got an Elvis Costello show planned for the Spring. So instead of the meme, I'm going to steal an idea from the Music Whore and mention a few Musical Highlights from this past year, using photos.



~My first EC concert(s) in March. The first venue was awful, but everything about Knoxville was perfect. Then I met him after the show. This was probably my best concert experience, period.


























~Seeing The Moody Blues in July was definitely a highlight, even if the security guards bothered me about my camera (while letting a woman with a huge old camera go to the front row because she knew how to flirt). But I did get my record sleeve autographed, and better still, I got my hand held by this man:






















~ A few days after The Moodies I was lucky enough to see EC again, at Summerstage, with Emmylou Harris.















~Then I decided to be a nutter, and waited for him outside the Letterman Show 2 days later. It paid off: I got his autograph. And he smiled at me (and I immediately turned into a PUDDLE OF GOO).




















(here he is signing someone else's thing... That day I also learned that drummer Pete Thomas is pretty darn adorable... and that Elvis's jacket is very soft)





~The next day I went to see him and Emmylou on The Today Show.
With the camera zoom on:






















My actual view:















(finding Elvis in this photo is like playing "Where's Waldo?")




~Even if this year wasn't great otherwise, and I found myself complaining a lot about various things, it was a fantastic year for music. In fact, for me this was the best year for music, period. I hope 2006 is even half as magical.

HAPPY NEW YEAR :D
