I finally went through most of my planners and came up with a list of most the BR549 shows I've seen. This is an evolving list...so I'll probably add more dates as I recover my past. [Does that sound like I was under some evil spell or what??]

Boy, was I shocked when the total came up to about 40 shows!! All over the country, too. Now I know why I don't have three cars, a huge mansion and a dog named Rex. AAAAAY! I do have fond memories of the old BR549 line-up (I miss Gary Bennett and Smilin' Jay McDowell!!!) -- but I'm dedicated to seeing them through to their next big success. Come with me down Memory Lane! For some of the shows I don't have pictures for -- you can read my journal entries!! You won't be sorry!
