Greg Brown in concert

My friend, Anne H won a pair of free tickets on The Morning Show, and invited me to come along to the Greg Brown concert Friday evening.

It was a sold out concert, with Bo Ramsey as warm-up act, and instrumental accompanist to Greg. I wish my memory for lyrics were better: there were a lot of great songs I hadn't heard before. Some very topical (ABC, NBC, CIA) and others very humorous, like the 'eulogy' song. (Introducing this, Brown commented, "Whether or not there's a God, we need to pray.")

I wonder if The Morning Show knows that its tickets were for the worst seats in the house? (At the very back of the wheelchair accessible section. I couldn't get in and out without hooking my clothes on somebody's breathing apparatus, and the stage was only half visible. Fortunately the acoustics were so good.)
