Clapton!

I just got Eric Clapton tickets (for June 21)! They are pretty good seats, not as good as the 12th row center Doug and I got last year (I'm such a row-dropper), but they are in the first section up, in the fifth row. Doug and I decided this should be Frank's first concert.

I love music so much, there aren't words. I can't explain it. The closest I ever got was to say I live my life by soundtrack.

I will never, ever forget seeing Eric Clapton play Layla live and being so close I could see the expression on his face. Even if I live to be 147, I will never forget the feeling I had. I'd have to ask Doug, but it wouldn't be that big of a surprise if I was crying.

So, Frank is getting to see one of the greatest guitar players of all time for his first concert. I hope it is something he remembers and appreciates in years to come. I hope he learns to love music as much as I do and love hiking as much as his dad does. Those are our equivalent passions.
