You know that T-shirt that says, "I may be old, but I've seen all the really good bands"? Well, I think I qualify to own one ...

Periodically I will mention to MiDiva that I have seen this group or that artist in concert and her response is that I should start writing down all the artists I have seen perform live.

So this is the beginning of that compilation -- and I will be adding those recollections when something jogs my memory.

The most recent, of course, was Reba McEntire.  We saw her at this year's State Fair.  The first time I saw her was when I was working at a country radio station in Northern California.  The station had a partnership with a performing arts center and would frequently act as Master of Ceremonies when a country act was scheduled to perform.

This was early in Reba's career, and my strongest memory is of her sitting at a table in the lobby signing autographs.  I remember her as a genuine, nice person and it was such a pleasure to meet her. She put on an amazing show and still does to this day.
