Another set of firsts:
Lisa Marie Presley
I’ve been a fan of hers since her first album came out a decade ago. Cameras weren’t allowed inside, but it was great show. The highlight of the evening was when she let a little girl and her brother perform one of her songs. The brother-sister duo have done covers of Lisa Marie’s music (sister sings, brother plays guitar) and posted videos on YouTube. Lisa Marie recognized them in the audience and gave them their moment to shine.
Katey Sagal and The Forest Rangers
I grew up watching Katey Sagal on Married with Children, and now I’m a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy. The concert featured songs from Katey’s upcoming album as well as music from the show.
Carmen
I dressed up and saw my first opera last weekend. Carmen is running at the famed Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Including intermission, the performance lasted 3.5 hours, but it didn’t seem like it. I really enjoyed it (and it helped that there was a screen above the stage with the English translation).
That's What She(ryl) Said
