I couldn’t bear the thought of missing Jon Brion at Largo at the Coronet after seeing his fantastic show the previous month, so on March 31, 2017 I was back at Largo for another installment of his show. The stage is set with two projection screens, a MiniKorg on the ledge of the piano, a full rack of guitars, a chair for a guest with a gorgeous violin and a mandolin next to it, and at the center of the stage, a celeste. The show began with the longest wait ever in between Michael making his house announcements and anyone

Do You Want to Dance With Me
The night of Thursday, March 30, 2017, I was out again to see Ha Ha Tonka and Old 97’s, this time at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood, CA. Some people may question seeing the same bands at shows on consecutive nights. I find that if I see the same bands and even if they keep to the same or a very similar set list, there are elements of the performance and the overall experience that still make it worthwhile for me. The previous night I had seen the bands at the venue nearest to where I live, Saint Rocke, which
Remember Back When You Got Lost With Me
Thrilled to see one of my favorite bands, Old 97’s, at my local venue, Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, CA, on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 and with an opener I’d heard of before, Ha Ha Tonka! Doors opened at 6pm, but the show wasn’t scheduled to start until 8pm. This is a small venue and it is absolutely fantastic to see the Old 97’s play here. There was still plenty of space open in front of the stage when I arrived at 6:45pm, but by the end of the night the place was packed and pulsating. Ha Ha Tonka opened
Nothing Ever Lasts
I was so glad to be back at Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles on Friday, February 24, 2017 for Jon Brion‘s show after having missed January’s installment. It didn’t seem like there were going to be any guests that night (no note on the email from Largo that there would be special guests), but with Largo, you never know what will happen. As the lights were dimmed over the audience, owner Mark Flanagan came on stage to introduce John Mulaney and Nick Kroll, who came on stage to test out the jokes they would run at the Independent
I Carried On Just How I Came
I was extremely excited for weeks prior to the concert date to see The Lemon Twigs play The Constellation Room at The Observatory in Santa Ana, CA on February 6, 2017. However, when the day of the show arrived my excitement had plummeted. Feel free to skip down another paragraph if you want to avoid my complaints or read on to see how one’s state of mind can affect the enjoyment of a show. My son had a school function that evening that I needed to attend, so I was leaving for the show a lot later than I normal
