First off, I just want to officially say hello! This is my very first
post as a blogger. I have been thinking about creating a blog for some
time now, as I love to write and take pictures of my experiences. I have been attending concerts since my childhood and love that I can share something with you that brings such joy into my life! Every year I attend the Bonnaroo music and arts festival and I see tons of shows at home or wherever I happen to be!
My first concert was probably Styx or the Doobie Brothers at Sunrise Musical Theater (which no longer exists) in Fort Lauderdale, FL when I was about 6 or 7. Seeing bands like this at such a young age is definitely why I have a such a strong love for live music! I love these bands, but at the time, they were my parents' favorite bands. My first concert of my choosing was when I was 10 years old and my parents took me to see Boys II Men. It was such a thrill because I was a big fan! Mary J. Blige opened for them and I remember not knowing who she was. Obviously I know who she is now and it's so cool to look back and know that I was there! I remember so many details from that show because I was so awestruck. When Boys II Men performed their song, "Water Runs Dry" it actually rained on the stage. For 1994 this was very impressive. At the end of the concert, all four of them got into a huge white box that was closed and lifted to the ceiling. A crack of lightning went off and the box was opened in a flash and all four of them were gone. As a ten year old this was awesome! I am still a fan of Boys II Men and I am actually attending their show in Miami November 5th with one of my best old time friends! Music has the power to take you back in time and I'm ready to go back to 1994!
