To give of one’s self: to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived…this is to have succeeded. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Van Morrison
Saw Van The Man in concert at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA courtesy of the UgsomeCur who furnished tickets, transportation and housing for this humble one. Thanks again Ug!
Go to his blog for a detailed play list of the concert. Van was in fine shape with a strong voice and blowing a rightous sax. Been a long time Van fan and it was a real treat to see him in concert. The band was tight and had a steel guitar and fiddle player prominent on his recent songs. Was a predominantly grey haired crowd...looked like an ex-hippy convention...only upscale. The crowd was singing along and on their wobbly feet at the end of concert. Only complaint I had was the dragonbreath dude sitting next to me who had a plate of garlic for din-din.
