Often, I get asked why I still attend shows.  A good example why is the adrenalin rush, the high I get that last for days and propels me and energizes this soul; it caries over into my life and, perhaps for me, my professional side.  And last Monday's Jackson Browne concert at the Beacon Theatre delivered on all the preceding. 

In discussing the setlist for the preceding shows with Gotham Westchester group co-chair trademark attorney (& more) Mike Steger, neither of us expected the show to vary as much as it did; five tunes not regularly played found their say in, including "Jamaica Say You Will."  Mike and I obtained our tickets separately via the Browne fan club but somehow our tickets were in the same row and next to the seats Shelly and I enjoyed in that beautiful concert hall with the most wonderful audio.

I muse whether a set of Jackson Browne shows at the Beacon will be an annual occurrence.  I'd welcome that!
