Wheres Toto Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I'm probably one of the ones old enough to be Slache's mother. Although I still get comments about being too young to be oldest dd's mother. Dh gets comments about being our kids grandfather all the time. To be fair, he really is old enough to be there grandfather and his younger brother has grandchildren quite a bit older than our children. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 My first non-junker car was a Honda Civic hatchback with manual transmission, no radio, no air conditioning. It was a good car and lasted a really long time. I've had a lot of Honda's since then. Mostly Civics and Accords. Now we have a Honda Pilot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I think the last concert I went to was the Eagles Hell Freezes Over tour. Our maybe some small venue concert I went to with a friend that I don't remember what group it was. It wasn't a big one or one I was into. Actually it was probably taking oldest dd to Kelly Clarkson. Dh doesn't like to go to concerts. He was a merchandising manager for bands in the late 70's/early 80's. Toured with The Who (played Space Invaders with Pete Townsend on one of the first arcade machines that he had in his dressing rooms), Genesis, Jethro Tull, a few others. He has original concert tees, backstage passes, signed programs. Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, although dd has one of the Led Zeppelin shirts. Used to wear it to school and get all her teachers worked up because it was vintage and signed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dc and I talked for over an hour in Spanish about all kinds of things. We used Google Earth to look up places that sounded interesting and discussed them in Spanish. I understand better now how people use it to find lost cities and such. I was able to figure out where a friend's house used to be (out in the country - it burned down 25 years ago) because Google Map showed a slight indentation in the ground where the dirt driveway had been. Going to street level, I recognized the trees. Cool. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a little while, but I was able to locate it. :) Also, are you a fluent/native Spanish speaker? Estoy aprendiendo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 My first concert was The Who in 1989/90 or there abouts. Other than that one, the Eagles and Kelly Clarkson mentioned before, I've seen Simon & Garfunkle, Brittney Spears. I feel like I"m forgetting some. The town I used to live in did a summer concert series with bands that were on fair circuits and I saw Herman's Hermits, Air Supply, and Three Dog Night that way. I have a drum stick signed by the drummer from Three Dog Night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 My first (and only) concert was DC Talk while I was in college. Attending was not my choice; I was working. Not really my kind of music, but it was fun going backstage afterward and meeting the band. My roommate was a huge fan, though, and was not happy that I was going to the concert for free, while she was broke and couldn't afford to go. She was thrilled when I scored her a free ticket that someone was giving away because someone in their group didn't show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Good morning! And good gravy!! 15 minutes and I’m still not ketchup! This morning we’ll go to church (the one I grew up and got married in) and then have brunch of some kind and then someone will take me to the airport. The Birthday Shindig was very nice. I got to talk with several relatives and some people from my childhood that I haven’t seen in 30 years. The hootenanny came when we were cleaning up and my brother popped a couple of the confetti balloons. 😁 We have lots of leftover food and cupcakes, so y’all are welcome to stop by for some yummies. My SIL’s sister has 6 puppies available to adopt and I am considering taking one home in my carry-on. Coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REO Speedwagon and Survivor (Survivor opened for them) in 1982. Alabama in 1983. Michael Bolton in 1992? Bad Company and Ted Nugent sometime in the 90's. Hootie and the Blowfish sometime in the 90's, in a field/cow pasture somewhere in Austin, in the rain. ZZ Top a couple years ago. Ted Nugent made an appearance there, too. I think that's it.

maize Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I've never been to a concert that wasn't classical music or a choir or something. If I did go I'm pretty sure I'd have to wear earplugs. I am not at all comfortable with loud noise. The music that gets played at my house is mostly either Broadway or songs dd16 has heard at the dojo and decided she likes. Kids' choice, I'm not much of a music listener. Mostly because I am either listening to an audiobook or daydreaming my own story in my head. I'm only interested in music if it somehow fits into the story. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I don’t like live music at restaurants because I’m never really sure what to do. I go to a restaurant to visit with the person or people I am with. If there is music, it seems kind of rude to visit over the music, and it’s hard anyhow because sometimes it’s kind of loud. Not that it happens much anyway. We rarely go out to eat and when we do, the restaurants we choose rarely have live music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 My dad used to have a band, but it was before I was born, so I never heard them play. They played mostly in bars up and down the East Coast. My dad played "keyboard" which back in the day meant a Hammond B3 Organ. He told me that he liked to go to a new venue a few weeks prior to his show, just to get a feel for what the crowd was like. (e.g. how wild and drunk they were). He said that one week he heard a really, really good band. That band later became known as Alabama. Anyway, many years later my dad became a church organist. No, he didn't change his playing style. 😉 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Morning. Revising. This is the story of my life from now until I never die, because ITT regs. I went to one concert with friends. I think that's the day I realized that there was something very wrong with me. The noise was overpowering. It was all I could do not to hunker in my seat and shake with my hands over my ears. I was supposed to clap to the music. I couldn't clap in time. I had to watch very carefully the hands of the people around me to do it right. In fact, I was mentally exhausted when we left from trying to imitate people just so I didn't look ridiculous. I hadn't known up until then just how carefully I observed people to get the right social cues so that I didn't look as weird as I felt. Never went to one again. I think I was 15 or so at the time? Possibly. Edited February 16, 2020 by Critterfixer 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
