There is President’s Dave and and Labor Dave. Here in Pittsburgh, it’s Dave Day at the place formerly known as the Coca Cola Star Lake Amphitheater at Burgettstown today. I promised I would never go back to that place after the last Farm Aid debacle, but a friend has provided a polite nudge to Celebrate we Will. It will be the first time I’ve seen the full band since Nashville or Blossom. Dark clouds and rain won’t matter, as long as we’re dancing on the hill.
My journey with live music started a little later in life than it should have, but I’ve been doing my part to make it up. It all started with Alanis Morrisette at Kennedy Hall. Since that one show the journey took off.
