This week was a busy one with concerts shows almost every night. Of course, I could not go to all of them. In fact, on Wednesday night there were three different shows at venues all across town that I wanted to attend.
My friend, Jenny, had told me about a benefit concert for the songwriter and musician, Kevin Sharpe. He has been battling cancer and is having trouble paying for all the treatments, which are incredibly expensive. The tickets to his show were only $20 at the door and there were 38 songwriters and performers featured in the lineup. Plans were for each performer to be able to play or sing two songs. With each song lasting about 3 minutes, that worked out to about 4 hours of music by a variety of top musicians and singers. Wish I could have gone to that one!
As it was, a different friend of mine was having a show at the local comedy club. Since I had committed to his show first, I went to that and had to forgo the benefit concert. Wish I could have done both!
