<p>Had free tix and backstage passes last night for Idina Menzel at the Blue Hills Bank Pavillion courtesy of bass player Sean Hurley! Was a terrific show - Idina was in great voice and the band was killing too. Hung out afterwards talking with Sean and then had a quick opportunity to meet Idina who was beautiful, gracious, and in real life was tiny compared to her stage persona. Lovely evening of good music.</p>

<p>Attended the Berklee reception for the honorary doctorates pre-graduation concert. The concert was was rockin' and the graduates did a great job this year. The band was also terrific as were the arrangements (great job Ken Zambello!). Got to see Jimmy Page and Valerie Simpson close up - was a wonderful night.</p>

<p>Traveled up to Gilford, NH to see good friend Steve Fekete playing and singing with Vertical Horizon. Got to hang out back stage, reconnect with Steve, and meet the guys in the band - all of whom are very cool! Was able to take pictures, get autographs and got a photo with John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls. Very enjoyable show, and a fun evening!</p>

<p>Went to see Jamie Cullum at the Opera House Thursday night - terrific show - if you can get out to see him it's well worth the ticket price. And, thanks to Sebastian De Krom, Jamie's drummer, we were able to go backstage and meet Jamie and the rest of the band. Very, very fun, impressive, and inspiring musical evening!</p>
