Okay, so this goal was LONG overdue. My baby sister, Allyson, is one of the lead vocalists in the band CRaSH (yes the "a" is lower case). Because of any number of issues, Carissa and I have not been able to attend an event in the last 2+ years. Finally our window of opportunity opened with a gig at the Dodge County Fair yesterday. We were so excited to attend and really they rocked! Here are a few thoughts:
1) So I always knew my sister had a big mouth...just kidding....In all seriousness I was pleasantly surprised watching her on stage. Not only did she belt out some impressive vocals, she had a rock star presence on stage. She owned it. I could not be more proud of her, and it was a joy seeing her so happy up there, doing what she loves to do.
2) Great start to the show with Lenny Kravitz's "Are You Gonna Go My Way". I put together a compilation years ago in which that was on it. It rocked, and it was told to me that they put it in the show for me....sweet. Eddie Vedder wouldn't do that for me for sure.
3) CRaSH is a lot of fun.....GO SEE THEM!
4) Matt is sweet on the guitar....what a talent! Crushed "Crazy Train", and dominated "Zombie" by the Cranberries, with a improv solo that would make Eddie Van Halen, Tom Morello, Clapton, Mayer and McCready jeolous. I couldn't believe my eyes when he played some of it behind his head. Was I hallucinating? Truly awesome.
Overall, it was worth the wait. Oh yeah and a goal was completed.
