Diary of an Ardent Fan

I saw another really fun concert.

This time near where I work, in Charleston, WV.

Jackson played an hour set of hits and three songs from his great new album Downhill From Everywhere.

This was the second time I saw Jackson in concert.

Great both times. He still sings phenomenally well and his band is great.

James even came out and sang/played the song The Pretender with Jackson!!

After roughly a 30 minute change over, James Taylor and his great band came on and played roughly an hour and 40/hour and 45 minutes.

My first time seeing James.

Lots of classics. Jackson returned the favor and came on and did Take It Easy with James, as well as the final song of the night.

Great show.

James has a very good sense of humor and everyone was having fun.

His saxophone player was in The Blues Brothers!!

One of his backing singers used to work with Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston.

Another backing singer has worked with Phil Collins for decades.

And another backing singer is one of James’ sons.

Again, both sets were great.

Fun night.

My next concert is today in Cleveland.

I’m going to see Mammoth WVH with my friend Kevin Montavon.

More to come.

My Aunt Kim Keffer and Barry Gillum were there too!
