Hi Glenda,

Leon Russell is really great.  He'll be at Summerfest this year here in Milwaukee.  I may get to see him.  There are just so many great artists and it's hard to see them all.

Right now I'm listening to nothing but Bon Jovi in preparation for the concert on May 21st.

Hi Janese. You know the world is full of wonderful music and artists, but we all have some that are "special" to us. I'm happy for you that you'll get to see Bon Jovi! How many times will this be for you? Not enough probably.

And to Rienny, Back To The Island is  one of my all time favorite songs too. You will no doubt remember this one from the same album. JJ Cale is playing guitar on this one. Looks like it's going to be another Leon day around here as I just pulled out my treasured vinyl Will O' The Wisp.

Hi Glenda,

This is only the second time for me.  The first time only cost me $35.50 but this time I'm over the $90 mark.  Well, worth it though.  I passed the other times he was here due to finances.  I have all the CD's and DVD's though plus Jon's movies so I get my fix that way.  Looking forward to the 21st of May.  I'm going with a really great concert buddy.  Who is your absolute favorite artist?

Happy Easter to you!

Happy Easter to you too Janese. Yeah, money is sometimes a problem. Glad it's a festival, otherwise the cost would probably at least  triple. We know Bon Jovi is your favorite, but that's a hard question you asked.

 Glad  you specified absolute favorite rather than absolute best. Absolute best, I couldn't have answered. Absolute favorite, I'm torn.  Johnny Winter,  Lowell George with Little Feat, and Leon.  I love all three....however Leon is hometown. I've seen him so many times on stage and off. Used to see him at the airport when I worked there, (imagine him young in a floor length gray fur coat with that hair)  going into restaurants, walking down the street,  just living his life. And in his prime, his concerts were not to be believed, they were so high energy. I once left one of his concerts high as a kite, and I promise you I hadn't smoked anything. 😉 Seriously.

So not a clear cut answer, I know. As much as I love Johnny's blues, and Lowell, I could never favor them above Leon.

Glad you're going to see Bon Jovi with someone special. Being with someone you know will be as appreciative as yourself enhances the experience I think. Counting down to May 21st. I know you have to be really excited. Let us know how it is for you.

Hi Glenda,

I'll get back to you more later.  Saddened by the loss of the great Phoebe Snow and that is what I'm listening to right now.
