I just purchased tickets to see John Prine the day after my birthday! I have only two regrets, and neither is very bad:
1. We'll be seeing him 3 days before his new album (see photo) is released. I wish it were the other way 'round, so I could familiarize myself with the music before hearing them performed live.
2. Leon Redbone is opening, which is OK, but in the South they've got Keb' Mo' opening. I'd love to see him.
I had to drai my kop* over the seats. Go here and mouse over Orchestra (first image), Row U, Seats 5 and 6, then mouse over First Balcony (second image), Row B, Seats 4 and 5. The price was the same. I ended up choosing the latter, because I figured I'd rather have just one row of people in front of me, even though we'll be up higher. The angle seems to be the same. Don't tell me if you think I made the wrong choice, 'K?
We haven't been to a concert since the last time we saw John Prine, when I was pregnant with Stephanie, so we're talking 8.5 years ago! Yikes! I hope I remember how to have fun.
*Yiddish for make myself crazy, literally "twist my head."
Have fun - Symphony Hall is a great place to see shows, we usually go to at least one POPS concert there in the summer when we are "home" (why I still call Massachusetts "home", when I have lived in GA for 13 years and actually pay a mortgage in GA, I don't know, but I guess MA will always be where I feel most at "home".

This will in fact be the second time I've seen John Prine there. I haven't seen the Pops in eons....
