I like live music. LIKE A LOT. I also like to travel quite a bit (if any of you saw how quickly my vacation days for the year were absorbed into the National Bank of Southwest Airlines, you might be appalled). Often my adventures in travel and music overlap (i.e., mucho music festivals), and alas, MUSICAL VAGABOND.
If I had a dollar for every time someone said, "Nora you go to so many concerts! You should write about it or something!", I would be a very rich lady. In all seriousness, I've decided to document all of my musical experiences here because I've basically turned my Facebook and Instagram pages into a makeshift blog of my many concert-goings and love of musical discovery. I figured I would give all of my very patient family and friends a break and just channel all of these random musical thoughts into one arena (thanks, Blogspot).
As much as I enjoy discovering new music and then immediately finding out when that band/artist will be on tour in a city near me, I enjoy equally telling my musically informed, music soulmate and cool cat father, Daniel Thomas, and my best music friends, Kevin Harrison, Andrea Dragan and Becca Adams about the music that has been discovered - these people will show up frequently in my musical adventures so GET USED TO IT. (I would like to extend a sincere apology to my dad's Gchat window and Kevin's Facebook chat window, as they are constant bombarded with my musical discoveries).
ME: "Kevin! I've made a groundbreaking discovery! Rod Stewart's band The Faces is blowing my mind!"
KEVIN: "...I know, Nora..."
It's moments like this when I realize I should probably do a bit more research before thinking my every thought is an idea that should be toted to Rolling Stone magazine - generally I limit these occurrences.
Rock on!
