This Summer I was introduced to Dave Matthews Band which is interesting since I got my Dave tattoo in January and named my blog after a lyric (and aforementioned tattoo). Through sheer luck of my best friend's cousin canceling I was able to take a roadtrip to Indiana and see to back to back shows and have my musical mind blown. SSince that day I have seen 2 more back to back shows at Wrigley field and most recently a Dave and Tim set at Farmaid just yesterday. I must admit at times I feel like a fair weather fan, a psuedo fan, a cheap excuse for a fan. My friend had been seeing the band with his family for year and years and years! I tag along that first time and instantly I'm hooked -but its all very true and sincere. I regret missing out the last 15 years of amazing music, but it has the instant gratification of TV show DVDs. I have a 17 year history of music to just dive into. Amazing.
What place does Dave have on my 'To Do' list? Two dos actually.
1) To get tickets within 10 rows of stage for a full Dave Matthews Band concert in the future (which is insanely difficult for many reasons - the most recent of complications being the bands hiatus) and making sure my bff is with me!
2) To learn a DMB song on the guitar. I just, impulsively, bought a cheap beginners acoustic guitar. I'm not sure what song it'll be, but before I die, if I live a normal human adult lifespan, I will play one song. Hopefully I learn a few other things along the way.
