First Concert

Q: What was the first concert you ever attended?
A: Around the start of middle school, my parents took me to see Paula Abdul, with opening act Color Me Badd. It was a great show. This was before I started playing and writing songs. Now, I know what you're thinking. "Cheesy pop." But look, some of Paula's music still holds up. I have a bluesy cover of "Straight Up Now, Tell Me" in my repertoire. Remind me to play it sometime, and you'll see what I mean. But Color Me Badd? You will not see me covering their tunes anytime soon.
