Bill that Rick Nelson show add is neat.  My Mom worked for Farmer Music at that time she no doubt sold some of those tickets.  Hope all is well with you.  hj

And one from '65....

Tim Jones (Jones)

The Rolling Stones for $5 bucks!  That's a good one, Bill!  

My first concert was Little Stevie Wonder, in the Opera House, also 1965.  Took a date.  Tickets were $3.50 if I remember correctly. The last big concert I attended was The Moody Blues at the Gorge. Took one of my sons who was about seven at the time.  Memorable. 

Also saw Jimmy Buffet at what do they call the Center Coliseum venue, now? So loud it blew my hearing aids out. 

One of my favorite concerts was Donovan also in the Opera House. About 1969.

Virginia Wolfe (Scheffer)

My favorite concert......Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Gorge.  It was worth the 3 hours after the concert to find our car.

Select your seating for the Super Bowl....

No thanks, Bill

I went to a UW football game in Fall, 1964. The UW team lost to the Air Force Academy 3 to 2. Never again.

Ted Comstock (Briggs-Comstock)

Tim -- I think that Donovan concert might have been a couple of years earlier. I got dragged to it kicking and screaming (by Chris Loucks, '65). I loved it! He's absolutely magic in person. I saw him a couple more times back then.

He was in Seattle in about 2008 or 9 and my wife and I went. He still had the magic, much to my surprise. He only performed one new song, but even the old ones didn't sound tired. Amazing musician.

Gary, 

You asked for some input about the new ads on the site. My simple response is "Annoying!"

Though I don't contribute much to discussions, I do read most everything that gets posted and enjoy staying in touch with and hearing about classmates. I suspect those of us who visit the site regularly would have no problem coming up with the $192/yr to clear the ads.I'll be interested in reading the comments of others.

Thanks,

Joe

Gary, I would agree with Joe's statement above.  I would certainly help contribute to keep ads away. They are as pesty as bugs at a picnic. Thanks for keeping us all in touch!

Tim Jones (Jones)

Gary, I would vote NO on the ads to pay for the web service for this site. Most of the time I'm here via a laptop and the ads have been annoying but manageable.  I've recently acquired an iPad and in the smaller format, the ads tend to crowd-out the content. I actually clicked on an ad thinking it was content. 

Typing this, as soon as I hit the 'Post Message' button, a giant ad filled my screen and then a second ad. . The powers that be in the internet world are always trying to figure new ways to put ad content in front of our eyes.  

Bruce Mennella

I would rather pay a small fee annually than to have this site cluttered with ads.  This has always been a nice place to go without having to be bombarded with clutter. 

Gregg Wilson

I suspect that Gary, and perhaps Bill, have been paying this annual bill for a very long time. We might owe them more than just the current annual fee.

They, and we, might have wait one year to get rid of adds.

Lynn Britton

Gary, I'm in agreement with others and would be willing to contribute to paying for the site to not have ads.  Like most others, I don't contribute much to the dialog but do read all of it and like keeping up with others.  It's even harder keeping touch since we moved to Monroe 2 years age.

on subject of first rock concert, probably mine was Bob Dylan at the Paramount in 1966... only Bob Dylan never performed there of course... my brother Dave Highline '66... took me to see Bob there one afternoon after I got back from Utah in distress... He was on the staff of the Daily at UW and now I think the show he took me to was a rehearsal, cause it was definitely Bob and not many in the audience... and wasn't the Paramount not even open at that time? so maybe as a staffer at the Daily, Dave got us in to the rehearsal? (I wish he was around so I could ask him)

It was great, if kind of strange, I was dressed in a suitdress with nylons and the rest of the audience (and Bob and his group) were all wearing jeans of course. I like to say that Bob Dylan saved my life... the only song I remember from that afternoon was The Times they are A Changing... truth

I rarely post anything anywhere but read a lot on many sites, especially this one.  If you will post the address for donations after the decision is finalized I will be very happy to send a check.  I don't like ads of any kind, especially when I'm surfing; they get in the way every time.

Happy thoughts to all,

Bill Engelhardt

Little did Paul Jones know!!!

Our family all stared in amazement at the Beatles.  I remember my Mom and Dad dancing in front of the TV.  They just loved the Beatles.  Full disclosure.......my parents were British!
