I spent the best three hours I’ve had in a while at the 8×10 club watching Alejandro Escovedo and the String Quintet bringing the house down with the most awesome music I’ve heard.

I thought my ‘concert virginity’ had been broken with Tori Amos but now that doesn’t even count in my mind. I am still reeling from the gushing power of the music I experienced, the heady rhythms, the driving melodies, and the overall wit and humor of the musicians on stage. It was truly a great experience I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.

I just wish I could see the other upcoming shows they’re having in this area, but alas, I haven’t the funds.

I did manage to get autographs, which is cheesy I know, so at least I have a memento of some kind aside from the great memories.

One musician down, so many to go.
