Van Halen is coming to Nashville with original lead singer David Lee Roth. They will be playing
the Bridgestone Arena on April 27th. Tickets go on sale January 14th. I'm glad to see some

FIREWORKS & LYNYRD SKYNYRD DRAW HUGE CROWD FOR NEW YEARS EVE CELEBRATION
A reported 55,000 people showed up downtown for the Fireworks and Lynyrd Skynyrd New Years Eve event.
The music note got stuck again this year (about halfway down). Last year it was the guitar that got stuck.
Maybe next year they can just hang the guy up there that created the drop machine, and see if
he can make it back down. If not, just let him hang up there, haha.

THE ORIGINAL SURVIVING BEACH BOYS ARE REUNITING FOR A NEW TOUR & ALBUM
The Beach Boys get together and do it again fifty years later, after it all started. Just announced,
a new tour and album are coming next year from the original surviving members. They just did a remake
of their hit "Do It Again" for an upcoming album in 2012. They have played Nashville many times,

THIS MONTH MARKS 41 YEARS OF ME WRITING ON THE NASHVILLE MUSIC SCENE.
It has been 41 years ago this month that I started writing, broadcasting & photographing the local Nashville
music scene. I started as a writer (and co-creater) of the Kaleidoscope Newspaper & as a reporter for
WLAC-AM radio. I started my TennesseeConcerts.com website in 2003,
then signed on as a ticket affiliate a few years later.

THIS YEAR MARKS 40 YEARS SINCE MY FIRST VIDEO, THE BEEGEES IN NASHVILLE
In 1971, I took my parents 8mm film movie camera to a BeeGees concert at Nashville's
Municipal Auditorium. This was the beginning of my hundreds of music related videos to come
in later years. See this rare footage (no sound) of the early BeeGees In Nashville.
