I’ll let what I consider all of it subsequent week.
Sean and I noticed Don McLean in live performance final evening for his Fiftieth-anniversary tour of American Pie.

His musicians had been unbelievable and his voice?? 77 years outdated and he nonetheless gave me chills – it was a bit harking back to Johnny Money a number of occasions. (And final however positively not least, mad props to the person who managed to make his American Pie finale final virtually 20 minutes and saved the gang going all the time.)
