Steve Forbert! In Phoenixville! Tonight!

Singer/songwriter Steve Forbert will be playing at Steel City Coffeehouse, right here in Phoenixville, tonight. As much as I'd enjoy going to see him, it's not in the cards for this evening, but maybe he'll come through town another time when my situation is a little bit more amenable to going to a show. To be gut-wrenchingly honest: I just can't

I enjoyed reading this post (several days ago, with only enough time to read, not log my enjoyment!). What a fantastic memory! Having myself been a regular listener to Widener's and Penn's and Drexel's radio stations at that very time and having myself been a contest caller (I won a copy of the Wild Seeds' debut album from UPenn!), I can appreciate and cherish the "I'm fifteen!" perplexity that faced the college-aged dj in question.

I was thinking of you today, of course, as I remembered from this post that today is the anniversary of your dad's death, and my own dad also passed (in 1996) around this time. I don't, unfortunately, have any shared concert stories from my teen years with my dad, but I'm glad to be creating them and like things with my own sons, as I know you are with yours.

It is through sharing stories and creating new ones that we keep the past alive. Best wishes, friend.
