I feel ya.

Learnt to drive on a '65 Plymouth station wagon but first car was a '74 Duster (225 slant six, 3 speed stick on the floor, no power brakes or steering (hell, it had 4 wheel drum brakes), didn't even have an electric pump to squirt the windshield ... had a foot pump on the firewall (hard to reach because of the Minimus 7 speakers on the kick panels)).

First concert was Motley Crue @ Myrtle Beach, SC (before they were famous).

Favorite band right now would probably be Lady Antebellum.

right there with you



first car was a 63 Karmann Ghia....36 hp

first concert was with my parents, John Denver. I was 11. when the lights went out, the people next to us passed my mom a funny looking cigarette....it smelled funny too!

the next concert was with middle school band...Manyard Ferguson

first concert on my own, The Doobie Brothers! first of 4

and again, there were funny smells when the lights went out.

have seen many more since then, but some of the best have been, Doobies, Genesis,(with Gabriel, and then Collins) Rush, and probably the best.....Pink Floyd (not sure that my eyes will ever be the same)

For you younger kids, these were/are great bands
