The symphony is well worth it if you appreciate that style of music and like hearing the actual instruments. My kiddo plays violin and I always enjoyed the school orchestra concerts. (Yeah, I'm that mom...the one who showed up enthusiastically for all the grade school programs and taking tons of pictures.....)

I do have to admit, I really liked the Third Day and the Newsboys concerts. Christian groups so a different feel than traditional concerts and very enjoyable.
Sheryl Crow played in a smaller more intimate setting outdoors so no throngs of people at that one and it was nice too.

I played flute, Alto saxophone, and clarinet through my school years. I'm really into instrumental music and Christian music, but I listen to all music usually.

never!? Not once!?


I love concerts.

I don’t ever go to the big huge arena type ones though. Those definitely aren’t really worth it. Way too crowded and you can’t even see anything haha

I usually go to smaller ones.


You should go to a Christian concert! They’re not like that. Or a local show.

I wear earplugs at shows.

I want to go to a Christian concert. I honestly am not fond of the crowds that gather at other concerts. I'm not into drunken people or them touching me... I am a bit of a stay out of my bubble type of person. I dislike people hugging me or getting too close to me if I don't know them.

I played the flute too!
I listen to the same music as well. I'm the only person I know (in person) with the music interests that I have. Haven't bought CDs in a long time (love Pandora now), but the ones I have are head spinning. Every style and even other countries represented....like a mini music store.

I was actually planning on going to these Friday night outdoor concerts in my town... But the virus has busted that plan for me.

The virus has pretty much ruined a lot of plans I had, but I guess I'll just make do with being home

Best concert ever was the Rolling Stones in 1981!

I call my apple music library bipolar (my husband is bipolar and he calls it that as well)... It'll play Christian then rock then an instrumental. You never know what you'll get listening to my library on apple music. Only reason I have apple music is because Verizon wireless gives it for free to it's unlimited data customers.


Speaking of Verizon wireless they actually gave me 15 GB extra of hotspot for this month. I use my hotspot to connect to my smart TV because we cannot get internet due to our location, so I must have been getting close to my limit because they gave me more for free.

Okay, so the worst one ever for me was the Beach Boys, when they must have been in their crazy drug period, or something. I like their music, but that was an terrible effort on their part.
Best? All in the late 60's (me too!). Sammy Davis Jr., who did a great show. Andy Williams, with the Jackson 5 as the opening act. Others I don't remember.

Did anyone else have big plans that got cancelled because of this virus?

We have a huge family vacation planned in August... Not sure it's happening
