Journey in Concert

    When I was a kid I went to see Journey in concert with my big sister, Dena. This was a huge deal for me because I loved the band so much, it was my first big concert, plus I got to experience it with my sister. We stood in line nearly 2 hours to get our tickets because you couldn't get tickets any other way back then. The concert was so good. I thought I was a big shot wearing my concert tee to school the next week. I wish I still had that shirt!
    When it comes to music, Jeremy differs from a lot from the kids his age. He loves guitar, and rock music from the 70's and 80's is his favorite. He started listening to Journey in the car with me and loved their music. When we found out they were having a concert in Charlotte, we jumped at the chance to take Jeremy. His sweet friend Cassidy joined us, and I think she had fun even though she was not as familiar with their songs.
    I always loved Steve Perry's voice but their lead singer, Arnel Pineda, does an excellent job and he is full of energy. The guitarist, Neal Schon, is so very talented - he is amazing to watch. Jeremy had such a blast. It was really cool to watch him enjoying a band that meant so much to me as a teenager. So great to experience that with my kid!
