So I still listen to WSIE from time to time, and Jason Church has mentioned that Keiko Matsui, the jazz fusion keyboardist, is coming to St. Louis in October. I’ve been thinking about picking up tickets even though it’s a weeknight show. However, my beautiful wife has picked up a contract chock full of calls during the workdays, so it might be hard for her to do it. So maybe I take one of my boys or go it alone. I mean, I have nine of her albums which puts her on par with Billy Joel, Pink Floyd, Herb Alpert, and Iron Maiden (if you count the Iron Maiden bonus disc).
But, jeez Louise, look at the ticket sales so far:
They are not exactly sold out yet.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the people of St. Louis. Too many good concerts to choose from. I mean, at the City Winery St. Louis itself, they have Michael Lington and Paul Taylor, Acoustic Alchemy, Eryka Badu, Spyro Gyra, Bebel Gilberto, Esperanza Spalding, Melissa Manchester, Janet Evra, and so on. Plus Jim Manley every week free. If I lived in St. Louis…..
I would probably not make it to as many things as I think I would. After all, I am not exactly tearing it up in Springfield even after seeing Jim Manley and vowing to change, much like seeing vowing to change in 2019.
