i commented yesterday but i’m not sure it went through? so i’ll do it again! lol the best musical memory i have is of attending an Evanescence concert when I was in high school. It was awesome! It was also when Evanescence was starting to make it big, so I got to see the birth of their music :]

Listening to “Laila” as a teenager. It brings back such warm feelings of such an uncomplicated time in my life.

I remember when I was 8 and I lost both of my front teeth. It was at christmas time and I had to sing a solo at the school christmas play. I had to sing “If only I had my two front teeth”. I would sing and smile to show my two front teeth were missing. Everyone was laughing at me and saying how cute I looked. They still talk about my teeth or lack ove at christmas

I remember the first time I jumped into a group of fiddlers and bluegrass players and figured out how to play along even when I didn’t know the tunes.

My fondest memories are sitting on the porch listening to my dad, mom, aunt's and uncles playing music in the summer time! My dad taught our neighbor boys how to play and they won Battle of the Bands several years in a row. My dad had played all of his life! He even played for Mrs. Roosevelt at the Arthurdale, WV opening of the New Deal Project!

When I was a teenager I went to listen to every concert a local rocker, Jimmie Clanton, played.

Years later, I was on my honeymoon in Edinburgh, Scotland, and my husband and I went to a movie on a rainy afternoon. It was one of those early films where every rock and roll band the producer could discover was featured. And, of course, there was Jimmie Clanton!

Early in the 1980s, The Police played in Knoxville, TN. I was shooting pictures for the local entertainment weekly paper and had gone to the local Hyatt Regency after the concert to grad a bite to eat and down a cold one or two. While I was there, about 2 a.m., a group of people came into the bar where I was by my lonesome. It was Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland with some roadies and some ladies. They invited me to sit at their table and even bought my drinks. After an hour of small talk, I talked them into a picture or two. They were very cooperative, and so I asked about Sting. They proceeded to take me up to the penthouse suite and there was Sting with a few people have a bite to eat. We got to talk, and he gave me an autograph, but did not want his picture taken. We said our farewells, and the rest is history.

My fondest musical memory was the summer I went to the very first Ozzfest. I was only like 14 at the time and went with my cousin who’s a few years older than me. We had a great time and saw one of our favorite bands Type O Negative. It was a fun little road trip~

My best musical memory is of my dad trying to teach me to play guitar. I was 13 and really wanted to learn. We worked hard that summer and had the best time. But 33 years later I still can’t play that well. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

When I was in 9th Grade, my buddy and I wanted to see the Grateful Dead in DC. My mom would not let us go hang out with the “deadheads”. The negative connotation was too great. After much pleading, she took us up there (would not let us drive). She hung out in the van while we jammed (slipped the guy a $20 spot) up front to Grateful Dead and Bruce Hornsby. It was awesome. Bruises adorned our chest from getting pressed against the metal fence. When we got back to the van, my mom had a case of beer and food that the deadheads who couldn’t get in gave her. They sat around and cooked food for her and told her their life stories(as this is). They named her SUPERMOM. From then on, we could hit the dead concerts or any concerts by ourselves.

We went to see Sir Paul McCartney when he was in Tacoma, Washington. We flew down from Anchorage, Alaska just for the concert. We had seats on the floor at about the 15th row. Best concert I’ve ever been to. He sang some Beatles songs, Wings and some of his new stuff. Fantastic!

My favorite music memory is being a little girl and my mom turning up the radio while cooking and cleaning. This was the 80’s and I remember her singing to Tina Turner and Patti Labelle and always singing the lyrics before the singer sang them. It was so annoying at the time but when I remember those times I remember how good it felt being a little girl and thinking my mom was the most beautiful woman in the world.
